Safety should be taught in some form everyday in a lab.

I feel like there is a time and place for all forms of assessment in the class.  The trick is knowing how and when to utilize them.

I learned that I am a kinetic learner.

I learned that competency based training is actually a logical tool that can be used in the classroom.

I learned that extrinsic motivators are good to use until a students intrinsic motivation takes over.

I learned that security and autonomy are huge in the success of adult learners and ways of incorporating them into the class.

I learned the importance of staying up to date with technology and that there is value in social networks.

I learned the reason behind baseline tests in the beginning of the class.  I always thought they were a gauge for a student but now I can clearly see it is a gauge for the instructor.

I learned that lesson plans are the foundation of a good course.  That organization is key in developing lesson plans and that printing them out and keeping them in a folder is the best way to keep them.

I learned that using what your students already know can help with lesson planning.  That flexibility based on student assessments is a reasonable approach.
