I have found that using multiple forms of the exam is great. Simply re-ordering the questions and elements of the exams has been sufficient.

using previous skills

In dealing with the challenging student. I rely on Glassers' Reality Therapy techniques. They are easy to use, to learn and one does not have to have a strong background in psychology or therapy, as long as you keep it focused on academics.

How will you use this?

When students become unfocused in class, it has been my experience that they either cannot relate material to their chosen career goal or are having "outside" life pressures. I give a constructive team project in class where they have to come with samples of the immediate material's application to work or how life issues can be resolved to work more efficiently.

applying course content to career

When I teach a general study course, I always bring in samples from each person's career that demonstrate how the students will apply the knowledge to their chosen career field. For example, I bring in a medical history questionnaire that includes portions of mental health for those entering into a medically based career.
