Having multiple ways to evaluate courses is essential to making the necessary revisions.  

Focusing on student learning in the online environment is of the utmost importance.  There are different tools that can be and should be utilized to help students learn better. 

Developing courses that are similiar in look- consistent is very important to the learning process for students.

Ive learned the importance of seeing the classrrom/learning enviroment from the student's perspective.

I should develop lesson plans and practice my lectures prior to performing them.  

Setting the tone from the beginning is important.   Introduce yourself and allow students to do the same.   Set the expectation for the course so students  know what to expect. 

It is important to be as prepared as possible and never to keep learning.

I learned that once a student's record changes hands (new advisor, etc) the hand wrrtten notes of the previous advisor are no longer considered "priviledged" information.

FERPA applies to all students and all of their personally information.

I really enjoyed learning about the 5 C's.  I would have to say this was the biggest takeaway for me.
