Questioning Techniques

Hi Julia- Welcome to ED 103! You bring up a very important point - we need to be sure to really listen as our students are speaking. Too often instructors are thinking about what they will say next rather than really absorbing what our students are saying. Best wishes- Susan

Hi Edward- thanks for your post! I really like the way that in planning assessments you factor in how they will be applying the knowledge in the field. Practical assessments enable us to send really prepared students into the workplace. Excellent! Best wishes - Susan
