Back Chaining Works!
I have used this technique with students who are struggling. I show them the reading they should have and ask them to explain it to me on the wiring diagram.
Illustrate cause and effect by showing the final situation first and working back to the start to understand the original problem works well.
Did I just see your light get brighter!!! It is great to learn a new skill.
Good job!

Yea, it gives me a great idea for role playing with my students at the beginning of class. Have a learner play the role of a customer coming to pick-up a vehicle with a problem, and I can play the technician who quickly and accurately diagnosed and repaired the problem the first time. I might even give the student some monopoly money and suggest if he's satisfied with the out come, tip the technician.
Thanks for sharing you technique and classroom experience.

I have used this same technique with 5 gas analysis of an exhaust system. I put up the results of an emissions test and then we break it down and explain all the gasses. works great.
Hi Terrance!
Great technique asking for understanding responses from students.
I don't know how you feel - but I think people have so much stimuli in their lives it is often difficult to get and stay focused. So very important to engage and encouracge students.
Keep up the good work!
