Supporting the learning styles of your students

Hi G , Thanks for your post to the forum. Excellent point! Our students are our customers although I like to refer to them as our "clients". As with any client we need to be able to give them advice and feedback that they may not always like, but which we know is in their best interests. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Susan Polick
