Deep thought

NewSchool has 4 credit hour classes, which means 4 instructional hours per week.

Students are very resistant to lectures at this point. Honestly, they start to glaze over after about 5 minutes - some of them immediately.

So I have my students learn the facts on their own (lots of reading, daily reading quizzes so they do it) and we have activities in class pretty much every day.

I feel like a pre-school party planner, trying to come up with enough activities to keep the little dears engaged for an hour and 40 minute class session.

There's something wrong with this picture.
