Well of course it's important to go to class, pay attention, and learn. Sometimes though it may be even more beneficial to have the non regular classroom setting. During a normal class you don't have that one-on-one interaction with your teacher. Plus with all the other students in the class you are more easily distracted. This week we only met one day instead of our regular three times a week. This was helpful, for it took a lot of stress off me and allowed me to focus and devote more time to other classes that need the extra help. Also meeting with your teacher is a perfect way to make sure you are on the right track in class. Everyone want to succeed and here is when you find out what you need to do to improve, or what you can do to keep your grade. This time also gives you the perfect opportunity to talk to the teacher, about any problems you may be having or to ask any questions you may not feeling comfortable asking in class. Although this method would be quiet hard to do for a larger classroom size, I found it very helpful and it should be done in more classes.
Thanks for your feedback on this instructional tool. The photo is great too. The problem that most instructors run into by canceling class in lieu of individual conferences is that it takes so much of the instructor's time to meet one-on-one, especially for those teaching four or five classes.
