Hi David - Thanks for your post to ED 103! It is hard to learn not to take students failures personally. As long as you know that you have done all that you can (and also directed students to remedial help)you have done your best. Best wishes - Susan

Questioning Techniques

Hi Lawrence- I really like the idea of an end of class forum. It of course gives you feedback on how that class has gone, but also makes your students feel that there input is valued. Excellent teaching! Best wishes- Susan

Hi Earl - I agree - students are so much more willing to share their own experiences with a topic. It also adds to the learning of their classmates, especially in terms of the application of what they are studying. Best wishes- Susan
