Are there any other suggestions for keeping students engaged?

This was a great module. I try to implement some of the suggestions in my classroom such as rewarding any student a twinkie and 5 bonus points for acing an exam.

As Albeit Eisten once said" a problem well defined is a problem half solve". Make your class interesting by breaking your lecture materials into chunks.
