Hi all, I have 6 students this semester which I was able to "split" into to classes of three each two times/week. I have no real way to teach 6 at once as I am not a lecturer, but a hands-on teaching kind of guy, the shop is small, can't keep 2 eyes on 12 eyes and hands etc. This sounded good at first, but now teaching everything twice, it's becoming a pain; and it's hard to think of what each class has learned. I'm trying to arrange it to teach the same thing each time. but I forget "little" things for each of them that might be on their quizzes. March 4 is quiz #2 over regulation processes/downbearning vs. upbearing, agraffes/aliquotes/capo, etc....but who did I tell things to? Many of my quiz tests are from vocal instruction. None of them ever take notes!! Nor have they ever!! The question is that I am having trouble with is that I think I am getting 4 man-hours of work from each class, but sadly, I'm getting about 1/2 man-hour per 1 hour class. I guess this is a backfire. I can re-bush a half a set of front rail bushings in the time it takes them to do a dozen. At least they are learning something in the process. I'm sorry I split this class in half!! Anyone else do this? Best, Paul -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://ptg.org/pipermail/caut.php/attachments/20100211/2f591b6f/attachment.htm>
