Student Retention
Student retention is a major topic in a college. If the instructor is fair and caring, retention is likely to be better than if he or she creates an uninteresting and demotivating class, one in which the student is left on his or her own, to develop the information he or she needs, rather than a dialogue within the class.
I try to get each student involved by putting drawings or diagrams on the board and make the find or locate certain items. This makes them apart of the learning as well as the class participation.
