You should always speak positive of your career. Students that are hesitant or on the fence and ready to give up, are searching for one reason to give up, and any negative feedback may give them what they are looking for..Do you agree?

Ask your students what they want out of the class. Find out where they would like to go if a field trip is an option, and who they would like to see come and speak to the class as far as a guest speaker. You would be amazed how many students have relatives or friends that work in the same or similar field that they are going to school for and you can utilize their contacts for a guest speaker or perhaps a field trip.

I have found that group projects or activities and sometimes games where I split students into groups help to keep the class interesting and competitive.

I have found that giving the same tests, but not making all the questions in the same order works. The cheater has trouble finding the question or answer that matches his/her test.
