I have found standing in the back of the class, and/or walking throughout the class throughout the quiz/test time has put a "watch" in the class. I have also distributed 3 versions of the test/quiz as they sit two at a table it adds a third variable to the test.

i love too have challenging students. they make me even work harder to get them involved.
I will be teaching my first class this quarter. The course that I will be teaching is a course that all new students will be scheduled to take. This course weighs alot on retention.

In my Law & Ethics class I have found great use in putting class into small groups to discuss various ethical issues and bioethical issues that they will face in todays medical environment. I found that they are more open with each other to discuss sometimes emotional topics. They are learning from each other and more importantly they are receiving different points of view - and finding out quickly that not all people will agree with them. So, introducing those opposing views prior to entering the workplace I feel like will be an advatage.
