  1. I have tried in different ways to provide support to students that did not do well on an assignment. The way that worked the best was to call students that did not do well into a group, review the material, and then allow the student to make up the assignment. Unfortunately this took too much time away from intruction/learning.
    Select which of the following strategies would work the best for you in terms of making up assignments.
    Give more time in class to learn the material and have to students make up the learning and the assignment outside of class time.
    Provide support for learn the material and allow the student to make up the assignment outside of class time.
    Allow the student to learn the material outside of class time but make up the assingment in class.
