In a vocational school such as I teach in,we go through a class in three weeks,transitioning from one learning to anouther with 30 students.What can I do to better gage individual learning in such a fast paced inviornment?

Vocational training happens so fast for the student and as instructors we need to give positive influince to our students by giveing them a sense of accomplishment every day,and the feeling of success in every project they perform.

In addition to the meet and greet on the first day,I like to demonstrate a simple process on the first day,and have the entire class practice while I observe,and make myself available for assistance and reinforcement of the activeity.This provides early value in the learning process,as well as a way for me to get to know everyone in the class,and where they are in the learning process.

Even after prepareing for the first meeting with the class,I find a high percentage of my students do not keep the info available,and I end up with the same questions anyway.
