Here's your handful students who wouldn't tell you how much or how little they were learning from you. So you couldn't know how well you helped your students or how bad you did not help them. Unless you knew how to draw responses from them, or you would be kept ignorant from learning about their learning in class. They wouldn't tell you! So to find out how well they learned, you had got to find a way or even invent a way in which they would show you their learning.
I found this challenging. It was not the lecture that was challenging. It was how you got to know your performance and their learning that's challenging. But I liked the challenge. I created a way for me to know what I wanted to know. I increased my interaction with them and from this, I got to know their learning, whether they had difficulties or they did well and were accelerating in making progress. By knowing of their learning, I learned how to revise my teaching in order to help them better.
One of my students got 765 on her TOEIC test. She had no previous experience of TOEIC. It was her first one that she took. And she got 765. It was a higher score than a target score of 750, for which she had come to the class. I thought it was a plausible score because she surpassed the target score and it was her first test
