First Class Examination

I was glad to see this suggested, as I had considered doing this for the next semester. I did not teach the first half of the course for some of the students I will have, so I do not know what they know coming in. It will not be graded, and it will give me an idea of not only where those students are, but what the students I did have previously remember.

Inheriting the class culture

I read with interest about cohorts establishing in-depth knowledge of each other, much deeper than a new instructor can know from a first class meeting. Working with multiple cohorts, I now can see the "under-the-surface" knowledge brought into a new class by an established cohort. Have others in our group seen this phenomenon before?

Foreign Students and Pygmalion

In the course I teach to foreign students there is a high degree building confidence in the students to be able to achieve the results expected. Are they any other techniques that get foreign students motivated?

Use of Case Studies as a demonstration of learning

I teach foreign students in foreign countries and use Case Studies created by the students to demonstrate what they have learned in the course. This seems to be effective based on the results experienced.
