What Makes a Class Successful?
Part of what I want to talk about in the blog, and get thoughts on, is: why do some people learn well in classes? What makes a good hands-on course?
I've been teaching adults computer skills, in one form or another, for about a decade. I've taught half-day, simple classes on straightforward technologies like Microsoft Word, and I've taught three-week, advanced courses on advanced software development for powerful platforms like Zope and Plone.
One thing that has been constant, though, is that, some classes really "click" for some students, and some classes don't.
What makes a hands-on, adult-student, technology class successful?
I'm going to discuss this in this blog. I teach about twice a month, and get feedback from those courses, but I'd also value any feedback from readers.
