I think it would have helped to 1) give

Learning styles?

Several CCQs (but many SS were

talking, not listening)

Nice CCQs, but you need to get their

attention first.

I wonder what theyre talking about? Is

And keep switching, and talking, and

I do hear someone working on using
TL
End of class. Applause.

SS are doing lots of talking!

They enjoyed your class!
