Using student self-assessments as learning tools

HI Eva- I agree with your post. Often students find it difficult to look at themselves critically and this can lead to a lot of problems. Having them really assess themselves is very important. Susan

Supporting the learning styles of your students

HI Amy - That's an interesting question. I think we all have students who will swear they have nver seen the syllabus! Doing a powerpoint on the syllabus while you discuss it would do the auditory and visual but the kinesthetic - hmmm? How about asking those learners for their own ideas about incorporating hands-on activities? Best wishes- Susan
