I have found that if I spend too much time working out every detail in a lesson plan my lectures come out very boring. For me it is best to write a quick list of ideas that need to be covered and then wing it. This method is more interesting for me and the students get a truly live show.

I find reading a list of the student names a couple of times before you meet them helps to learn them quickly.

To complete our program a student works in a team to complete a large project. If the project is completed successfully and the student did their best and completed the basic requirements but you still feel they are not quite up the indusrty standard, how should they be graded? How should you handle requests for employment recommendations from such a student?
