Thank you for your suggestion, Gary! It is very helpful and I will use this strategy in my class.

I am a new instructor at a small, private school of which I am also very recent student. In addition to this being my first class/course and having no prior teaching experience, there is a constant rotation of new students coming into the class. Half of the students are on different chapters of the textbook than the other half of the class. Any suggestions on how to instruct a class of students that are at different areas of the course?
