Knowing the learning styles of your students

Hi - Ehtesham - Thanks for your post to the forum. I do not know what courses you teach, but as you mention practice is important. Also try to add variety to your lectures by maybe adding a video clip, using a short powerpoint, and stopping to ask some questions and get a discussion going. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
