Getting student participation in questioning sessions

Hi Mark- Thanks for your post to the forum. Setting our students at ease is so essential. Being a student in a classroom full of strangers can be really intimidating so the more comfortable we can make them feel, the better they will be able to learn. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Hi Scott- Thanks for your post to the forum. That sort of application assessment is really necessary as you state. Knowledge of stautes, terminology etc. is not useful unless the student can apply it to the cases at hand. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
