Assessing general education skills

Hi Jose, Yes, unfortunately we see too many students who are lacking those basic skills. Realisticaly, we are limited in what remediation we can offer in the short time they spend with us, but, as you say we need to do what we can. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Susan Polick

Hi Gretchen, Thanks for your post to the forum. I find that using the "Parking Lot" on the whiteboard is the best way to cut off an off-topic question and return to it later. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Susan Polick
