This is especially apparent at the freshman level and, therefore, teaching strategies in freshman courses need to be particularly sensitive to this fact. There are no assumptions that can be made about uniform preparedness, expectations, or learning style.

It is useful to recognize these tensions publicly and talk about them with the students. This is an opportunity for faculty-student reflection, learning, and discussion. C.

Students will respond positively if you show some recognition of and sensitivity to this freshman experience.
