Comment on Angela Zaugg's post: I agree with you.
Important not to be best friends with your students
I realize now that most cheating occurs because of opportunity.
Using colored cards is a great way to limit over talkers.
It is important to engage adult learners early and often. They like pertinent material to their specific trade.
I think that most new instructors will try and overcompensate for how new they are, and they feel that they have to bombard students with a massive amount of information, even when simpler information would do well.
All ambiguous behavior is interpreted negatively. Make sure students feel valued and respected.
Students need a reason to learn and they are motivated by personalizing content to career goals. Keep open lines of communication and set the expectations.
Preparation of topic, taking notes and self-evaluating after each class is main takeaway from this session.
Learnt various types of student's behavior and different strategies to deal with them in variety of settings.
