Good reading material and I like the career exploration part. I believe we really need to assess the classroom and adapt our teaching style to the needs of the students.

So I had to create groups and assigned more advanced students to help students that struggled with technology.

As an instructor I need to be able to connect with each of them in order to know what kind of support they will require to help them be prepared and motivated for the course of study. Understanding the kind of support the student's need will help them to be successful and anticipate what the degree program and the professional field will expect of them.
