Getting student participation in questioning sessions

Hi Gabrielle-Thanks for a great suggestion that aids in getting students to do the readings. I larger classes you can have the students prepare 3 or more questions but only ask them for one that has not been previously asked. Best wishes- Susan

Involving all students in questioning sessions

HI Joseph - Thanks for your post to the forum. You mention an good point. It is important to be authentic. Students can tell when you are not being yourself. Of course it's essrntial to keep a degree of distance between yourself and your students they need to get to know you as a person. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
