encourage an activity to get bodies moving when there seems to be a lull.

This course taught me alot about instruction and classrom dynamics. Each student learns differently, and teaching style an delivery of information is important for student info retention. It is important to be organized and not overwhelm with too much content.

 

exams can be stressful for students. ensure a quiet work environment for everyone, and make sure to give another version of the exam as make-up.

always have a back up plan, just in case things don't go exactly as you thought. this will hel pthe class stay focused, organized and on track for successful learning.

no need for paragraphs on powerpoints. let the students do their homework & reading assignments. use 3-5 bullet points and elaborate verbally on each.

being organized helps for a smooth class, and for setting a good example.

Students expect a high level of professionalism, and experience in the field in order to create a reputation and base layer of spect with new students

Can be very frustrating. I is important to hear them out and really talk with them to see where they are coming from, and then to attempt to re engage them in the class.

In every class there will be 'tough' students. Sometimes I find reaching out to have a one on one session with the student to understand where he or she is coming from can be really helpful. Just giving the student that individual attention shows them that you care, and can go a long way.

Engaging your students is so important.your energy becomes their energy. Keep students motivated with a balance between group activities, demos and lectures.
