The first time I taught a class was a challange due to my expectations was to high of my students in a beginning A & P class. The lectures notes which I put in an outline style helped dramatically because sometimes I would not go into enough detail to explain a subject because I thought everyone was always on the same page.

To be sure my teaching strategy is effective and ensure my students are meeting the objectives I often review after every section in a chapter the key points and things they will see again on a test. I also give multiple tests on one chapter that are not cumulative but cover the specific information that was stated in the objectives. Through this practice I have seen overall grades increase and also students retain the information at the end of the quarter better.

When I first started I really struggled with my lesson plans and sticking to them, but now they have helped me to stay on track, cover all the required material, and are often used as reference with my students when they tell me I did not cover a topic or didn't tell them about their upcoming assignments.

Thank you for the suggestions. I do think the power points may have to much information on them and I'm going to go back to making my own slides due to the ones with the textbook containing to much information at once.

I feel sometimes I have trouble keeping some of my students engaged during my lectures. I often use power point presentation to help me stay on track and also to give them a visual. I often expand on what is written on the slide but I often have students that try to write down everything that is on the slide and that I say. What can I do to keep my students engaged and help them to understand the purpose of a lecture.

What happens if a student with a disability does not disclose that they have a disability right away and are only stright forward after questioning them regarding their poor performance are we obligated to go back and make a accomadations to previous work in the middle of a quarter.

I often see that some students are receiving financial aid and student loans, but they are not putting forth good effort to make good grades to keep their financial aid.

What happens if an individual contacted you but forgot that they placed the company on the do not call list but you have their consent to call them does that pose a problem? And can you notify them and tell them to take their name of the list.
