Sue, Very interesting. When that question about common sense is asked, people usually do not consider how broad/general it could be. It is extremely hard, if not impossible, to predict human interactions. With that being said, you are correct common sense can be interpreted in so many different ways that our heads would spin.

David, The learning styles of students is one that is hard to discover especially in higher education. Some of the activities we do n in class will give us ideas, but unless students tell us, we usually have to figure it out on our own. This is something that teachers do quite well. Philip Campbell
