Active best mimics how people really learn...people learn by doing. You didnt see pictures of how to ride a bike or have someone describe it to you, you rode the bike to learn how to ride a bike. Give the learners what they need to learn...activity!

Expectation Management

A good tool that I have used is to group students together on the first day of class and have them identify the top 5 expectations they have for each other. Being prompt and having succinct comments always comes up.

Textbooks

So what really consitutes a textbook? Does it have to have an ISBN number? What is the source it needs to come from?

VARK

I've always liked Fleming's VARK to help provide guidance for teaching to meet all the learning styles in a given class. I think sometimes it is overcomplicated when in fact it is easy, and quite necessary, to do so.

Making a Positive First Statement

We have all been members of a class in which the instructor rushes in last minute and leaves immediately as th class is over. As a student this diminishes your learning experience and sets a class expectation that dedication is not valued nor rewarded in that particular class.
