Will your examples be understood by ALL students? 

A tip I've wanted to mention for a long time came from an international student. He stated that very often in class when there is a complicated or difficult statement/concept, it is obvious that...the whole class is confused. So, the instructor provides a present-day...example of how this concept could be applied. Unfortunately, the examples used are based on very USA-based practices (for example, a football game or something else understood by most Americans). This leads to a great "Ah-ha" from domestic students, but even greater confusion for international students. If instructors use examples that are less culturally tied, the entire class would benefit. —Kelly Kornacki
