Helping students problem solve (developmental advising) is generally preferred over prescriptive advising (just giving the answer).  

Adult learners are valuable and their retention is lower due to various factors. As educators, we must address their academic and non-academic needs to help them succeed.

There are many different types of intelligence and we should embrace them all.

Let students debate to a point, but there is a limit that you must set to maintain civility.

Socratic questioning is important to help students develop critical thinking skills and be able to judge and apply the content.

Acrostic is a new word for me! I have been calling it a mnemonic.

Instructors can administer an ungraded pretest to determine the student's knowledge of prerequisite content, learning preferences, and plan for success that term.

Utilizing various teaching strategies to deliver the content will help to inspire learning in students with different learning preferences and styles.

Helping students to recall long-term memories is a better option that re-teaching the same material again.

I like the "lecture at home, homework in class" idea and I think it's a good way to explain it to the students.
