"One time I thought outside of the box was when I had a student who was failing my class. They worked hard in class with their assignments, but the exams they always bombed. So, we tried something different and unorthodox. We did a verbal exam; I knew the student could communicate their learning better verbally than they could in a test format. The student did loads better and passed with ease."
