As educators, I feel it is our duty to provide as much one-on-one assistance as is possible; after all, most students will argue that "we are all paying the same price for our education", so why shouldn't I get personal attention...... I tend to agree, and I gave myself the goal of providing a minimum of 2-5 minutes of personal instruction during every class period to each student. Of course, some will require more than that allotment; at that point I always have the student see me after class and we have a more tailored conversation to that students' particular needs. This has helped tremendously with retention for us!
