Karen, I can appreciate your comments about too much content and not enough time. I teach a gen ed course that is required so the students don't want to be there in the first place and then I have a lot of content to cover to set the students up for their next series of courses. It is tough but I constantly look for new and more efficient ways to deliver the content in a way that keeps the students engaged. I reach almost all of the students using this approach. For the students I don't reach I do know I have done my professional best and it is up to them to be mature enough to put forth the effort to be successful and if they don't it is their loss.
