whether the student is angry or just ignorant to his or hers disruption, I feel it is a good idea to let them do their bit before you intervene. This I feel is giving you time to asses the situation, think what you are going to say and how you are going to say what it is you have decided on saying or doing.
it's very hard dealing with students who constantly are asking questions (not always relevant), or questioning your knowledge or material. I feel that letting them have their moment in the spotlight helps… ask them to explain to the class what something means… "please enlighten us… what does X mean?"
place the student into a "fictional" career position, explain to them how they might feel in this position, what their responsibilities are, and highlight how the skills they are about to learn will be used in the chosen field.
this is very true… sometimes it's worth while catching up with individuals after or before class to get a better idea of what they are thinking, or what issues they might have.

agreed. a lot of the information and advice given here is in sync with what I already do. there are some new elements which I have found useful.

 

overall though, it is nice to see that what i am already applying to my class is what is widely suggested.

I am looking forward to including all these methods into my class. Is there a particular order of the styles of deliverance that you should present your material in? Is there a proven/successful order of events?
I teach a class that has been together for around 6 months, so they are familiar with one another. is having them put names up on theirs desks a strange concept for them as they already know one another well. There are always some people in a class that are unwilling to open up within the class… what is the best way to have someone become more involved and vocal?
