Benedict,
This is a tough setting in which to start a teaching career. You came into the game late and the composition of the students made it almost impossible to reach them all. Sounds like you have worked very hard to make adjustments to reach your students in a way that brings value to their course work. Hopefully the situation has worked itself out via the dropping of some students and the arrangement of schedules so you can provide the instruction needed for them to become proficient in the HVAC area.
