Cover sheets to help with lab enviroment

I find that giving cover sheet handouts to the students cut down dramatically on having to explain lab assignments over and over. It also is a great place to put any critical information pertaining to the labs that may not already be in their books. I've also heard students help other students by reminding them to use their cover sheets when unsure of some information needed to start or complete a lab assignment.

Going over the quiz/final

I go over the quiz's as soon they finish taking them, the students seem to like this. This gives them the chance to ask any questions they might have about the quiz.

Student profiles

I believe it is valuable to respond to individual student needs while maintaining consistency in scoring students performances.

Real world experiences and other examples

I find that by incorporating experiences that I have gone through that relate to the class study, really provides the student not only with great examples, but it also allows them into your world a little bit. Students tend to open up themselves and tend to become more relaxed.
