Comment on Roberta Pennington's post: While I understand what you mean, I think categorizing students who don't respond right away as slow learners can have a negative effect. I learned in personality testing that some people are naturally analytical thinkers, and they naturally take more time to consider everything before making a response. They can be frustrating to those who normally making snap decisions, but they have a process, and it should be valued. I never thought about applying that in an instructor position until I saw your comment, just something more for me to be aware of in the classroom.
