Using CATs as sources of instructor and student feedback

Hi Gerald - Thanks for your post to the forum. That's why I love using CATs - it gives me immediate daily feedback so I know how to navigate the next day in class instead of proceeding down the same dead-end. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Supporting the learning styles of your students

Hi Laura- Thanks for your post to the forum. Yes, although we all have preferred learning styles, we must be prepared to adapt to other styles, especially in the workplace. The reason we try to use all the styles when we are teaching is just to try to make learning as easy as possible. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
