I really like the video from Harvard Business school wherein the instructor talks about 4 aspects of great instructors. In particular, he talks about 'knowing your students'. That's VERY important. You must teach STUDENTS, not MATERIAL. I also like the fact that he says "don't humiliate your students."

I like the fact that the lesson teaches us to 're-focus" our efforts if we get the sense that our instruction is not accomplishing the objectives of the course. I also like the fact that various learning styles are addressed. It's mandatory to address the learning style of each & every student in any given course.

I really like the way this module focuses on the human side of being an instructor. Caring about students is the first step to having good student retention. I particularly like how the module mentions that an instructor needs to greet an acknowledge each student upon entering the class. This shows individual attention from the VERY beginning.

I find Student Retention to be a very challenging part of my duties. This course is bringing several new approaches to light. So far, I'm enjoying this module completely.
