Sandra, great idea and technique. It is also good to have students reword questions or answers to ensure they have a proper understanding. James Jackson
charles, what type of games or activities do you use to assist students in learning how to associate key terms to the various operators they will need when solving word problems that require a mathematical solution? James Jackson
rachell, what techniques do you use to help lesson the anxieties of test taking? James Jackson
Grisel , great example of the three T's: Tell them what your going to teach them, Teach them, Tell them again what you told them. Tell, Teach, Tell provides a minimal level of repetition that enhances learning. James Jackson
David, great point. Knowing your students and establishing a professional relationship is key to success. James Jackson
Gina, great point. Regardless of how your students react to the class or to your leadership, your role is to ALWAYS provide a positive focus and enthusiastic character. James Jackson
Gina, having 100% retention is no easy task in higher education today. What do you feel allows you to be so successful at getting students to return to your classroom on a regular basis? James Jackson
remonica, test taking is also a skill that can be trained but there are not many programs that go into detail about such techniques. Many programs take an entire course to focus on presentation skills but we just assume that all students know how to take a test. Anyone reading this thread, please share any training you provide to assist students with test taking and any results you can share. James Jackson
Sarah, what are some of the things you do to stay in touch with your students so you can monitor their ultimate successes? James Jackson
Natalie, what are some of the test taking strategies you discuss with your students? James Jackson
