tips[1]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> In my class, the non-native English speaking students rarely participate. How do I involve these students in class discussion?';
tips[2]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> When I explain the homework, students say they understand, but they still hand in assignments that don\'t follow my instructions.';
tips[3]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> When I ask if there are questions about the material we have covered in class, no one has any, so I assume they understand. However, later it turns out that they didn\'t.';
tips[4]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> My students never take notes in class even though I have repeatedly emphasized the importance of taking notes.';
tips[5]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> When I set up a class activity, I clearly explain what I want students to do, but they don\'t follow my instructions.';
tips[6]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> When I assign students to work in groups, not all of them participate equally. Either they work individually or two or three of them take over the discussion.';
tips[7]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> During lectures or presentations students often start to withdraw, seem bored or stare blankly when they have to listen for an extended period of time, and I often wonder whether they understand what is being discussed.';
tips[8]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> Students can\'t seem to elaborate on answers. They give a one or two word answer and seem not to be able to analyze or think clearly or deeply about any topic.';
tips[9]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> When I assign a paper my students inevitably plagiarize most of the information in the paper.';
tips[10]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> I have a very hard time understanding non-native English speaking students\' writing, even after I\'ve corrected the errors.';
tips[11]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> My non-native English speaking students\' papers are full of grammar errors.';
tips[12]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> When some of my non-native English speaking students participate in class, I sometimes don\'t understand what they are trying to say or I am not sure what they  mean. What can I do to help them help me understand what they are trying to say? To make matters worse, sometimes my other students snicker when the non-native English speaking student speaks.';
tips[13]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> My students often fail to do the assigned reading and complain that the textbook is too difficult. What can I do to help them?';
tips[14]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> I try to have all my students, native and non-native speakers alike, do presentations in class, but they rarely work. What can I do to make them more successful?';
tips[15]='<span class=\"tipsBold_f\">Problem:</span> I try to enliven lectures and clarify concepts or theories by integrating relevant personal stories, mine and students\', but these stories take a lot of class time, become entertainment and rarely seem to help students integrate and apply the concepts to other situations. How can I use personal stories to illustrate concepts in a way that helps students integrate and apply the concepts to other situations?';
