* Special Accommodations:
Students are for the most part shy and this may be cultural. They do
not for the most part willingly without being called on. Because of
this I will call on each student by name to share, using a seating
chart. On any difficult words that members of the class may not know, I
will write it on the board. I go through the material repetitively,
using different ways to assure comprehension. I also ask a lot of
questions to make sure the class are following the material being presented.

understanding, or is more discussion necessary on certain aspects?
