I haven't noticed too many hybrid classes (involving both online and in-class learning/participation). Is this something that is common and if so do certain classes/topics lend themselves better to a hybrid approach? Could someone provide an example and explanation of what this would look like?

extra credit options

I find it ambiguous when deciding exactly how much and what type of extra credit should be offered. Some instructors add extra credit onto a test while others offer projects specifically for extra credit. What is a general rule of thumb?

Getting students "turned on" to learning

Although many instructors go above and beyond to get their students exicted about learning it can still be difficult to get everyone on board and wanting to learn. Besides the suggestions offered in this module (e.g. relating new content to the chosen career, multimodal learning, various methods of instruction etc.) what can an instructor do to get students engaged?

Multisensory Learning for Language Classes

Does anyone have any good suggestions for multisensory learning for a language class? We already cover visual, hearing and tactile pretty well but I find it hard to incorporate smell or taste. Suggestions?

Classroom Management

I find it hard to determine how to walk the fine line between letting students know you mean business and will stick to your guidelines vs. still being flexible and empathetic. How do you settle on a happy medium (i.e. not being a drill sergeant or a peacemaker)?
