Roberta, greatly appreciate the feedback. Engaged instructors such as yourself are what make the class interesting and fun so thanks for your awesome participation. Please let me know if I can assist you in any way. James Jackson
Roberta, what a great testament and affirmation as to the power of attention, caring and persistence. Some students simply need more of our attention than others. Not all situations will have such positive results but we will never know without trying. From one instructor to another, thanks for all that you do and for what you do to assist your students. James Jackson
Luke, what techniques do you use to assist students in building up their skills in note taking, study skills, test preparation and test taking? Thanks for anything you can share. James Jackson
LAURENT, how do you determine which of your students are adults and which ones are still stuck in some form of adolescence? Knowing where your students are on the spectrum between adolescence and true adult behavior can be very beneficial to you as an instructor. James Jackson
nikki, what are some of the ways you prepare your students to obey the rules of the classroom? Do you go over the rules the first day of class? Do you discuss dips linearly actions ahead of time? Do you get their feedback on what is expected throughout your time together? Thanks for anything you can share. James Jackson

Kitt, nothing takes the place of knowing your students so you also know what direction to take in any given situation. Some students will react better to different approaches. Rarely does one size fit all in this instance. James Jackson
