dealing with unfocused students

In my opinion when an instructor “spells out” what is expected and required of students at the beginning of the class it reinforces his/her expectations for the class as a whole.

Jim,

It does help if the student feels invested in the class and that they are needed in the classroom. Students really do learn a lot from one another.

I have found that if I ask them what type of 'teaching' they like best that they have 'ownership' of the class.

Yes, it does. I have found that unfocused students have needs that are not met. I try to give them a leadership role of sorts and this really seems to help.
