Get Your Students Hired
It's always a challenge to keep moving ahead in class and not get sucked into the students technical problems...things like: tuition/academic status/registration, etc. I have to try hard to get them to take care of these issues on breaks or before/after class so it doesn't interrupt the whole class!
Jay,
Good strategy. It is easy to get sucked in just as you say. When this starts in my class I refer them to the Student Services office and tell them that I want them to go there to get their information so it will be accurate. I tell them that I'm not familiar with all the requirements concerning student aid and that generally stops the discussion such topics.
