Ahhh yes, what we won't try to make it entertaining (for us too) and to grab their attention. I did a rap (once), sing the Freud song when covering Personality, and do magic tricks in all classes. Key issue is that class policy. Make it clear and apply consistently. I have reduced absences, very few make-ups and rare to no cellphone interruptions. Don't think I want to try to rap anymore, but the pink hat? Hmmmm.... G.L. (Gary) Peterson,Ph.D Psychology@SVSU
