Tell, Tell, Tell
I often find myself repeating learning objectives in class and wonder if I am over saturating the lesson. I was pleased to see I am on the right track in the latest section of the class. I teach culinary arts and though there are many facets to accomplishing a particular skill, I want to instill the core fundamentals associated with the lesson or skill at hand.
Beatrice,
Students need to learn something valuable (to them) in each class meeting.

I think it is very important that my students actually learn at the beginning of the session when they are not distracted and more focused on the subject.
Same thing here. My students roll their eyes when I repeat things but if I don't, most of them fail the test. Now I tell them it's test review and the eye-rolling has diminished. I guess they though I was going senile and couldn't remember that I'd already explained the material.
