Focus
Reminding students to look back,and see how much knowledge they have gained so far,will help them re-focus on their goals....
I totally agree with that. Keep your eyes on the prize...
i agree with you and add that we as instructors don't do this often enough. it can be a real moral booster to remind students that they inspite of thier belief they have not if we canshow them that they have gained knowledge useful knowledge as a matter of fact that this can helpcarry them forward in to there next endevour
If I remember to do this every day, most students feel good about themselves, even if they made mistakes and learned from the mistake.
i feel this is important to remined students why they are here when time get tough
I like to ask them questions and they answer my questions from previous courses they have taken
It also helps to have them use the knowledge they have gained to make them realize the value of it.
