George,
Thank you for your well-thought out response. You provide good information in this forum.
Diversity is as you note not just culture or race. You are right on track when you realize that past knowledge and experiences are included.
Are you referring to the students' confort level with the content or how the instructor approached the content to deliver it to the students individually?
And, you are correct in noting that feedback is essential. Feedback (responding to students) should be a continual process.
Nice job.
