When meeting a class for the first time it is essential that we "exchange" contact information. This is very important to keep track of my students and keep them abreast of their progress throughout the class.

When teaching there are a variety of programs in my classes. I am a coder so I often try to read happenings in other divisions of health care to keep the subject matter relevant to all the students no matter their major.

More and more I have students who would like a lay out of their exact assignments weeks in advance. Some want to plan vacations others just don't like to wait to the last minute. Is this effective when trying to keep the student engaged in the learning process?

More and more I encounter students with field experience. How can we get them credit to test out of a particular class before enrolling; only to find out they really don't need the class?
