I need to ensure that I am aware of the various types of lectures and how each of them can provide a greater experience for the students taking my course. 

How you end a class on the first day of instruction is important. It allows for students to have some comfort in their abilities to pass the course. 

Planning and preparation for a course involves a lot of work on the front end to ensure success on the back end. One thing that I plan on continuing is always having a notepad on me with checklists (which is something that I've done since H.S.)

You develop as an instructor in many different ways and having a professional development is pivitol in ensuring that you continue to grow as an instructor. 

Your support materials are a critical part of your overall course. It is essential to stay up to date on tech changes because they can sometimes make your course more effective. 

Objectives for a course must be measurable and the standards help focus instructors on course content and skill development areas within the field. 

Lesson plans can help keep you on track as an instructor and also serve as an organizational tool for the entire course. These lesson plans can be treated as fluid documents and can change accordingly. 

The major point that I learned from this module is how to deal with time management within a course. It is something that I have wondered about and have luckily found some tips on how to better deal with it thanks to this module. 

Evaluations can come in many shapes and sizes. Incorporating different types of evaluations can allow for a more complete educational process for the students involved. 

In this module I learned about the various stages of Bloom's taxonomy and what levels students need to be at. I also learned of the different CAT's that can help provide further learning alternatives to students.
