I'm MUST INTERESTED IN WHAT CONCORED USES AS A PRE-ASSESSEMNT FOR ADMITTANCE. Often times as an instructor I use the pre-test in GE-100 this gives me a baseline as to where the students knowledge level is, before starting the chapter. A baseline can help lead the instructor in preparing the student's to keep their interest. Adult learners will "turn-you-out" if information is repeated just for the sake of filling class time

I use a simple brain assessment instrument that allows students to determine if they are right or left brain. Students are so amazed that they are visual or auditory learners. It really helps to understand what style of learner the students favor.

WE such a diverse population in the GE-100 sections I utilize a variety of techniques: Open discussion, group forums, one-on one. Every adult learns in a different style so it is imperative to change or teaching styles and not simply read and recite
