Prayer

When's the last time I prayed for my class? When's the last time I really thought about their needs? When's the last time I prepared my lesson according to the answers I got for these questions?

What if my student already knows what to do?

We are discussing the physics labs that we have worked on, and that I started for the department nearly a year ago.  One topic brought up was what to do with people who have already seen the material, know what to do, and are getting bored because they have to sit through it again.  One professor here suggested delegating these students to help out with tutoring or mentoring the new students.  Not only would this keep them from getting bored, but it would also help them review and solidify the topic in their own minds.

So, if your students know the material, utilize them!
