Hi Russ- Welcome to ED 103! Involving your students in group discussions that require them to analyze situations and come up with solutions is a great practice. It gets them involved and actively learning while giving you an opportunity to assess their understanding and performance without the students even realizing that they are being assessed. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career! Susan

Hi Cahrles - you are so correct! And not only does it make it more interesting for students, adding variety in delivery keeps things fresh for our instructors. Best wishes - Susan

Hi Franz - you have the questioning skills that make you an effective instructor! How long have you been teaching? Susan

Hi Laurie- Welcome to ED 103! I agree that an essay would give you a much better evaluation of their actual writing abilities. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career! Susan

Hi Franz-You are reaching all the learning styles with your delivery. Many instrctors worry that they can't use each style in every class, and that's OK; as long as they teach in the way that you do -adding as much variation as possible. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Hi Zafar- Welcome to ED 103! I am guessing that most of your students are kinesthetic learners which is why they respond so well to that sort of delivery. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career! Susan
