What are some techniques to use with students that consistently answers open and closed questions incorrectly? The student tries very hard but usually is in left field with some of the answers. What do you suggest?

I always wanted to know is it regional or is nationally accepted to address students by their first name or last name?

be prepared stay focused just try no excuses PG respect all think positive no hating or snithching rules are subect to change at any time!

I agree with everything this course covers. Motivation on the collegiate level is one of the most important factors today. Of course there are many outside factors, such as life, that can keep todays students down and unproductive. Touching out and providing relevant examples has always worked for me. Students can relate and see that they process many of the same problem solving skills to get over these hurdles. They just need a kick-start to get out of it.
