Teaching Methods: From a Student's View

I see the teacher everyday at a set time and place.

Sometimes I'm not in the right frame of mind to be a good student.

The teacher is there to help me in person if I don't understand. I know I have to finish an assignment in a certain amount of time because the teacher is there to remind me.

Other students in the class are misbehaving and causing too much distraction.

I can ask questions and get an immediate response.

I may be too shy to ask questions if I'm not sure. I rely on my peers to ask and answer questions.

My teacher lectures and explains the topics on the board, followed by me doing practice problems to see if I understand. I can tell right away if I don't.

I'm too worried about talking to my friends to listen to what the teacher is saying.

I meet with the teacher virtually, sometimes at a set time, others just through e-mail.

I have to wait for my teacher's response to a question. It may not be immediate.

I can choose when I work on my classwork, which helps with my busy schedule.

I have trouble meeting deadlines with my assignments.

I can take classes that I'm interested in that are not offered at my school.

I find it difficult to work on group projects when we don't meet in person.

I can work ahead of the rest of the class if I want to.

I don't have internet at home, so have to take my class in a public place that has wifi.

Lessons take a lot of work on my part as well as my teacher's.

If I'm not motivated to work, I'm not going to.

I can interact with my teacher.

I won't understand lessons I can't relate to.

I will be assessed regularly about my content knowledge.

I will become bored with a class that always teaches in the same way. I enjoy variety.

I can ask questions and/or set up time for tutoring or extra practice.
