Hi Patricia - You are wise to spend time reviewing tests. Tests that are not reviewed are a missed learning opportunity.

Hi Patricia- I have been a victim of test anxiety myself (usually involving math). Here are some useful suggestions from my alma mater - George Washington University. http://gwired.gwu.edu/counsel/index.gw/Site_ID/5176/Page_ID/14095/

Questioning Techniques

Hi Wendy- most often we use the brief intro or bio exercise as an icebreaker then never refer to that information again. By incorporating the personal information they have shared,when it is relevant, we demonstrate to our students that we value them and find their life experience interesting, Sooo important!

Hi Jmaes - I think most of us would agree we don't do it for the money. You aptly describe why we DO teach! - Thanks for making me smile on a Saturday!

Hi Tony - you are wise to encourage your students to take the lead in explaining how they might handle a marketing campaign. Too often we rush to share our experiences as part of our instruction which can make sharing their own ideas intimidating for our students.

Hi Jack - I like your analogy of teaching to the learning styles - "a juggling act"! That is indeed what it is and if your performance is good your students will undoubtedly be successful.

A great idea Susan - I think I will use that one myself. I'll bet it stimulates lots of self directed research!
