Staying On Schedule

Hello,
When planning out my lessons for a class I can often carry the same plan into my class each time I teach it. Often this works out just fine, but occasionally I run into a problem that can throw the plan off.

Class size. Some classes can be much smaller than other and I find myself blazing through the material in half the time I normally would (less questions, better skilled students, etc...). While I try to have a contingency plan in place when this happens even that can fall short and I almost feel bad by 'assigning extra work' because they are a small class or if part of the class decided not to show up.

Is there a good approach to handling this phase of planning without feeling like the students who did make it to class are not being punished?

Thank you,
Doug Hamilton
