+How can you engage students?

You have a class of 25 students in a course. 25% of your students are traditional, first year students. 25% of your

students are non-traditional students, between the ages of 20 and 35, with a family and jobs. 25% of your students

have returned to college; they work during the day and are taking on a new program at night. 25% of your students are high school students in a dual enrollment program. Your class is quite diverse, yet you want to engage ALL

students in the course material.

How can you engage these studentsin a regular, face-to-face course?
