Hello all
And now for something completely different.
I was called into my supervisor's office yesterday. My physics students think I am a bad teacher and accuse me of not answering questions etc etc.
I am like they don't ask questions. I ask them if they are getting it and I get no response.
They just had their first test. They did horrible. This is a calc based class and they are all going to be engineers at a much tougher school than this.
I don't know what to do. I can't slow down anymore. I have to do something.
I also have a problem relating to some of the foreign students. I would like some advice regarding this too.
I had a long talk with my students today begging them to ask questions telling them I can't help you if I don't know what you don't get. It makes perfect sense to me and if you don't tell me that it doesnt' make sense to you...I assume you got it.
