Flaoting Around the classroom

I prefer floating around the classroom as I lecture. I believe the students feel more involved in a discussion rather than just listening to a lecture. It also helps keep the students attention.

Student cheating

It seems difficult to monitor student cheating today. The students have come up with new ways of cheating all the time. I guess its due to new technology.
