A. B. C. D.D.
In this scenario, the instructor is teaching a beginner topic, but most of the learners are already familiar with the course content. As a result, the instructor needs to decide how to proceed in a way that will benefit all learners.
A. Continuing the class as planned assuring completion of current course objectives is not the best approach because the advanced learners may become bored and disengaged, while the beginners may feel left behind.
B. Asking the advanced learners what they would like to cover in the course and then changing objectives based on advanced learner's requests could be a good approach. This would allow the instructor to tailor the course to meet the needs of both the beginners and the advanced learners. However, the instructor should be careful not to deviate too much from the course objectives.
C. Asking the experienced learners to return for a more advanced course is not a good approach. This would exclude the advanced learners from the current course, and may also discourage them from returning for a future course.
D. Modifying the curriculum as necessary to fulfill student expectations while still meeting course objectives is a good approach. This would allow the instructor to make adjustments to the course content and delivery to better meet the needs of all learners. However, the instructor should be careful not to deviate too much from the course objectives.
In conclusion, option B and D could be good approaches for the instructor to consider in this scenario. The best approach will depend on the specific needs of the learners and the course objectives. The instructor should also consider communicating with the learners to get their feedback and input on how to proceed.
