This was a truly unique term as I taught the same three classes to two very different groups. The first group was plagued by tardiness,absenteeism, late assignments, and several resulting failures; the other class was very engaged, timely, and for the most part present and accounted for.
Despite the differences in the personalities of the two classes, I can see how the things I learned in ED 112 can make me a better instructor. Now my task is to implement these techniques and see if the results can be improved.
