I have heard of many students going to the program director instead of the instructor to complain about an assignment or issues they are having in the class. Is the a way to prevent this from happening from the start?

Immediacy for instructors

Regarding overcoming the issue of immediacy, I think a lot of instructors feel pressured by their students to get assignments graded and handed back in an immediate fashion, and end up burning themselves out.

Common Ground....

I always like to do a show and tell of not just past student work, so the students can see what to expect in the class, but I bring in work that I have done. I also open it up to critiques and comments on what they like and don't like about it. It gives them the power to express their opinions on real work, and it shows them that I have expertise in the field, and it gets them asking questions about their future careers.

Image plagiarism

How do you check to make sure that students are not copying other people's art work. How are you to know if it was by accident, or that the student actually stole their work?

Using Center Stage Students to your Advantage...

I like to use the students that tend to be over zealous in class and use them to my advantage, by helping them lead smaller groups, and working with other students that may not be getting the material. By keeping watch over these students, gets the center stage students feeling like they are helping out, and also gets the students they are helping, much needed attention and gets the groups discussing more.
