An Evalution on American Teaching Style in Latvian Universities’Classrooms

The first problem that arose in my freshman insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(first year); courses that I have taught at the University of Rhode Island and at the Rochester Institute of Technology: student attendance and the percent of students who performed poorly. Now the question to ask: how to start correcting the problem? Try to implement new ideas as active class engagement and creating a hands-on atmosphere in each course vs. a theoretical course insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(practice makes perfect);. How successfully were these ideas implemented in my classrooms in the American universities and furthermore, how successfully will these ideas work in classrooms of Latvian universities?
