Evaluating student

It is helpful to evaluate the student comprehension of the topic at the beginning of the class and also evaluate at the end of the class. By asking them questions, it provides me with information on the level of their knowledge. At the end of the class, it gives me an overview of the level of comprehension from the students. What is your best practice to evaluate the student knowledge.

Student Retention

One of the way to help students who take longer to grasp the subject/content is to team them up with student leaders that have been detected among the class students. They become mentor and it creates a link for the students that have some difficulty to not only refer to the instructor but also have the opportunity to search help among the student leader/mentor.

It seems that there is so much you can do within the teaching field. You try several ways to gain the student interest but ultimately it is up to the student.
