In the profession I teach the penalties for not doing things usually means getting fired. So it is a tough thing to give points off so to speak. Sometimes, I feel with things it should be all or nothing or they are going to end up losing their jobs.

I feel when you have a vocational type school you have to use Skill Application Tests due to the nature of the course.

I like to do a short review quiz of the day before. I get students to come up to the board and answer the question with help of their peers.

When I ask Does anyone have any more questions. I find that sometimes I have to pause then ask the same question then I get a response from someone who was willing to ask before.

I teach things that are very hands on but there is also theory behind it. Sometimes I find it difficult to do both to those students who are very Kinesthetic. Any suggestions how to get the theory part to those students?

Anyone have any useful ways of remembering names? I have a hard time remembering names in the very beginning.
