Student Suggestions

1. Provide alternative ways to demonstrate mastery of the subject.
2. Use other teaching modalities to reach those who don't learn from lectures.
3. Provide course materials electronically so they can be converted into multiple formats. For example, audio or large print.
4. Take advantage of the student's background and capabilities.
5. Create the sense that students are receiving some one-on-one instruction.
6. Don't allow students to stereotype each other.
