Today, students seem to have a shorter attention span. You have to try to reach them in different ways. Sometimes, a film or speaker are very useful in stimulating class conversations. I am open to learning other ways to engage students.

Many students are not mastering the material

Sometimes,you have a class where many students struggle with the course material. How, do you adjust the curriculum without compromising the quality of instruction? Is pre-testing the best approach in tacking this problem?

Reaching Students who don't want to particpate in classroom discussion

In my experience, there are students who always want to speak in class and others who never want to share their ideas. Are these students bored or perhaps they have not read the assigned materials. Classroom participation is important in students' comprehension of the material. It also allows students to share their thoughts and expertise. What are some ways to reach silent students?
