I will use the grouping methods as well as memory by assiciation. I will certainly give these methods a try. I feel that I will get positive results from these and then I will build from these into other memory assistant metods.
Absolutely Darrell! Simple is often the very best!
Keep up the good work!

Good for you Wilfred!
Students really do enjoy games and they are such good learning/reviewing tools. Anything that is visual and interactive generally works well in any classroom.
Keep up the good work!

Great approach Cynthia!
It does make information much easier to remember when we can relate it to another experience, circumstance, symbol, etc.
Keep up the good work!

Games can be very simple but still reinforce the material covered in class. It can be as simple as dividing the class into groups and have each group teach the other groups and the class votes on who did the best presentation.
I find myself in line with many of the sugestions out lined in this course,however I do not have any learnig games.I intend to develop at least one for my course.
In my class I give the students different mneumonic devices for the material that we are learning. They have the option to make up their own of course, but I also show them what has worked for me in order to help them to retain the information I am teaching.
Use positive comments. Talk more about the labs we do after we are done
I like to have questions in the morning from the previous day's class.
I believe visual and interactive activities stimulate memory...I.E. I remember when he made us do that!!!!
I like the backward chaining concept as I teach a lot of terminology and I think it will help retention. I also will back more attention to how I can use primacy and recency in tying together the concepts we cover.
I am concerned with retention of learning because I work in a science-oriented profession but teach to mostly non-science oriented students.
They have limited time to learn information and yet it is a college-level class that is transferable.
Accelerated learning and teaching is what we are doing each day. I am going to work on less memorization and more problem solving. I will try to work from the end back to the beginning. I am going to try to find more patterns to the content to increase learning.
I am going to try 80/20 beginning next term.
I am going to make it a point to make the first and last items that I cover be the most relevent since people will remember them the most. I will also use the different techniques discussed in planning future lectures and class days.
I believe I can add a more positive spin on the realtionship of the material I am useing and its relevance to the student. I think I do some, but I may not always relate it to their age level in reference to when I was there and was truely excited to be in this trade.
I like to make it fun and we have a game that applies to our area of study (Foodie Fight)... I feel the healthy competition allows them to recall the information easier. However, I'd also like to create one a little more specific to the class.
Hi Arthur!
I really like your or breaking the process down into 5 steps. This enables students to process and store information very easily. It also helps those students that may be challenges learners - not so much to remember at one time.
Keep up the good work!

I will now try to break processes into groups of steps with no more than five steps per group, this will help students remembering long complicated recipe procedures. Also I think the use of mnemonics will be helpful for retention of information.The students in my class have to memorize the 5 mother sauces; Bechamel, Espagnole, Tomato, Hollandaise and Veloute. I came up with a mnemonic to help students remember the names of those sauces. I tell them to remember my prom date, her name was BETH aqnd her last name started with a V.
I teach culinary art, I believe when a student sees it, then actually does it, will help them retain the information.
I like using word association, or word banks to help students.
I will provide students with the positive results instead of giving them examples of what can go wrong.
