Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
I get bored if I study in the same place every time. I have a few places to study where I feel comfortable so I can change to whatever place fits my mood best. But - I always have what I need in my bookbag, including my laptop.

Teaching Tips
Here are two teachings tips from our collection of over 250 practical tips
Seat Students at Tables
I seat my students in groups of four or five at tables. This allows students to face each other and interact in positive ways. Students can work together in a cooperative manner. Also, it is easier for me to manage their behavior since I have to monitor several groups rather than twenty-five to thirty students.
End-of-Class Review Time
Try to leave a few minutes at the end of class for students to review their written notes and ask questions. During this time, students can also compare their notes with those of other students. This will help ensure that students have an accurate set of notes.
