Hi Gerald - Welcome to ED 103! The course that you teach is indeed challenging in terms of assessment. At first glance it's simple- "Grade their speeches" - but I also teach public speaking and can attest that it's way more than that! You seem to have a good handle on assessment. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career! Susan

Hi Darron - Welcome to Ed 103! I know nothing about meat cutting other than my own rather pathetic attempts! Do you find that most of your students are tactile/kinestheic? Do you ever give them written asssessments? Do they have to take licensing exams also? Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career! Susan

Hi Daniel - Welcome to ED 103! Just out of curiousity, are those written/auditory learners generally as successful as the vsual/tactile folks? Best wishes! - Susan

Hi terry - Welcome to ED 103! You are wise to ask for your experienced students input! It will make them feel more invested in the class, decrease possible boredom and they will also serve as a resource for the other students. Best wishes ! Susan

Hi Krashania- You are absolutely correct - CATs can open up discussions that will make your students feel more comfortable. Anytime that you can get your students to communicate is a valuable opportunity! Best wishes - Susan

Hi Krashania- Students love to talk about themselves and having them relate new concepts to their own experience will increase their retention of what they have learned. Well- done! best wishes - Susan
