I usually have two versions of the test so if there are any absent students it lessens the chance of answers being shared. I also send the student to take the test in the library while using an instructor proxy, this lets the student have quiet time instead of trying to take the test while in a noisy classroom since all other students have taken it already they will be on other tasks.

Pretests

I find pre-tests useful when you have a very diverse group with multiple learning styles. It can give you an idea of where more of your time needs to be spent and keeps the student from being bored.

Tactile learners

I have many tactile learners and need to find a balance so that my tactile and my audio/visual students can co-work at the same time. I find one group gets distracted when we are using the other styles of teaching.

Getting topics from students

For me it seems that when I allow students to pick paper topics they are more motivated to do a good job. I have also added a project that includes interviewing a family member or friend and write a report on their personal medical issue. I find that it gives student some real life prep for patient care.

Always something Devistating

How do you deal with a student who always has a devistating event week after week. I don't want to doubt the student,as there may be that much stress but how do you ensure your being caring but at the same time tell them they still have those requirements to fill?
