It is a class called global citizenship, its all about accountability, understanding culture and differences, community engagement, citizenship, tings like that.

I teach a class that is primarily abstract material, but it is also only a 2 credit gen ed course. I feel that paper writing is a little much for this class, but am having difficult time creating other ways of assessing them. Any suggestions?

I am a 25 year old instructor and I have a number of adult learners who are double my age. Many of them tell me they have kids that are older than me. Although I am confident in my ability and knowledge, they do not always feel the same way. Sometimes I get disrespected because I am supposed to be respecting my elders, so they expect me to give extra to them. How do you overcome age difference between instructor and student, let alone amoung students?
