Teaching methods, topics and exams should be done by surveying students, of course, by providing specific and limited options
Dedicate part of the class work to student seminars and presentations.

After 4 sessions from the beginning of the class, a survey should be conducted, then we should read the comments in class and respond so that they feel that the survey has been seen and read.
If possible, appoint a teacher assistant for the class.
Use the methods of brainstorming, forced communication and fish bones to attract students’ creative participation.
Tolerate dissenting views.
