Instruction approaches for kinesthetic learners

Hi Rob - Thanks for your post to the forum. I have no real evidence but somehow doubt that many accounting students are kinesthetic learners. I agree that it is tough to find delivery options that would appeal to them but having them present/problem solve on the whiteboard is a good idea. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Using alternative assessments

Hi Wilmer- Thanks for your post to the forum. We all encounter students with basic skills deficiences and as you mention, they can do the work, but are at a disadvantage because they will be continually faced with having to read directions, procedures etc. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career.

Getting student participation in questioning sessions

HI Bill - Thanks for your post to the forum with some excellent advice. I think this is a point that we should really emphasize with our students. They will do a diservice to their employer/clients if they pretend to know an answer when they don't. There is no shame in saying "I'll find the answer and get back to you asap!" Best wishes - Susan

Using alternative assessments

HI Dean - thanks for your post to the forum. I am also a great proponent of group projects for the reason you cite. Asking students to produce a short paper also reinforces the writing/communication skills that they will need. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
