Donna, This is a unique format for post-secondary institutions. From my experience, students that operate in cohorts are able to provide excellent peer motivation and work well in collaborative environments. Do you find this theory to be true in regards to your students? Tremayne Simpson

Dale, I agree. Publisher supplements provide several additional activities, exercises and materials that (in most cases) can be customized by the instructor. Publishing companies are very receptive and can provide demonstrations of their products to the faculty. Tremayne Simpson

Selecting Course Content

James, I have also used self study assignments for students. Instructors should also use "self reflective/study" tools to measure their overall pedagogical methods and instructional experience. With this reflection (and the assistance of a faculty coach or department chair) the instructor can cultivate developmental goals for improvement. Tremayne Simpson

Identifying Student Knowledge

Richard, This sounds like a very effective activity. With this diagnostic quiz, once students find out the actual answers, they are forced to "unlearn" inaccurate preconceptions of law. From there, they can continue the class with an open mind. Tremayne Simpson
