Assessing general education skills

Hi Donna, thanks for your post to the forum. As you mention, we often have students with diverse general education skills. It is a challenge to teach to everyone. But, if we know that some students will need extra assistance we can hopefully arrange for that. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Susan Polick

Involving all students in questioning sessions

Hi Joan, Thanks for your post to the forum. I like the idea of breaking students into discussion groups before starting a questioning session. students will be more comfortable with the material since they have had a chance to discuss it. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Susan Polick
