Hi Cheryl, Good question that commonly comes up with all of us instructors. I would suggest you do two things in relation to planning your instructional delivery. As you mentioned in your forum it would be good to find out the learning preferences of your students. Once you know this you can balance your delivery to involve the different learning preferences. Another thing I would do is to have the students fill out a 3x5 card offering suggestions and input on ways they would suggest the content be delivered. I have found that I get very good feedback from the students (meaning they are constructive and not hateful). They don't put their names on the cards so there is no pressure being put on them. They are very candid and helpful. I often will put the 4-5 students off to the side and talk with them individually about their concerns and solicit suggestions from them directly. In reality many times their suggestions are not feasible to do but they feel involved in the process since I took the time to seek them out and get their opinions. Other times I have them assume some leadership role in the class to get the more involved. Let me know how this works out for you. I will be glad to talk with you more abut this situation should you wish. Gary
