Hi Jeanne- Thanks for your post to the forum. Skills application testing not only gives us a picture of how much a student has learned but also gives students a sense of confidence that they will be able to use what they have learned in the workplace. Best wishes- Susan

Using CATs as sources of instructor and student feedback

Hi Kyle- Thanks for your post to the forum. that's a combination of visual and tactile - terrific! I ordered a skeleton to be used at my campus for some of the medical classes. It came in pieces in a big box. I knew that the head should be on top and the feet on the bottom - had to call for help with the rest! (-: Susan

Supporting the learning styles of your students

Hi Lanny - Thanks for your post to the forum. I really like that your study guides don't just give sample questions that may be on the test but require your students to do research to prepare. Instead of a "Memorization Guide" they actually DO get a "Study Guide" Great work! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Selecting instructional strategies for visual learners

Hi Anthony - I think that your demonstrating how to complete a full drawing from start to finish is very important. I'm sure that you get students with diverse skill levels. Those who are very skilled will have no problem being able to replicate the finished product, but beginners would be overwhelmed by that. Best wishes- Susan
