Time management can be difficult in basic classes where students are having difficulty mastering the material. I find this is true often in my grammar classes. My students tend to freak out and think they will never master the material and think I am going too fast. I often have high expectations of what I think they can do. After teaching this class a few times though, I find I have to meet in the middle - sometimes I have to bridle my expectations a little and push them a little more.

I teach general education and I have lots of different types of students in my classes with varying degrees of ability. I find it difficult to tailor my classes to be able to suit all these different students at once.

I enjoyed this course. I would, however, like to see more time/material donated to dealing with difficult students and more concrete advice on how to diffuse them.
