...little extra

...i gave my students 10 articles to read and discuss in class...every student is required to read and prepare a summary of the articles individually...the class is also divided into several groups comprising 2 or 3 students...each group is assigned an article which need to be presented to the class...the group is expected to lead the discussion of the particular article or case while members of the class are free to ask questions or to agree or disagree with the article/case...on average, i am satisfied with the level of participation of my students though few remain silents/shy...but what's lacking from either the presenter or members of the class...is the little extra...the ability to critically analyze the articles/cases given and the extra works done to support the discussions...i am hoping for the students, without being told, to do extra works/readings and relate to the articles to support their arguments...i believe those little extra would differentiate between ordinary and extraordinary students...wish them all the best...
