I really appreciated the suggestions for the minute papers and the use-it-wisely cards!!! Can hardly wait until class on Monday to try them out!
I felt the "uneasy" feeling when I was reading that I should know all my student's names by week two. Wow. I teach 3-4 classes with about 20 students per class and each class lasts 5 weeks. That is a great deal of names by week 2! I usually have most of them learned by week two , but sometimes it is week three. I now know that I will have to put a little more effort forth in learning names by week 2 because I certainly do understand the importance of that concept.
I do not mind teaching the same courses. I find that I challenge myself to find unique ways to deliver the information and see which deliveries work best for student interest and student retention. Students seem to really enjoy the clinical experiences that I bring to the classroom.
Some fun learning moments include:
using pop rocks for sensory learning,
using glitter on my hands and shake everyone's hand as they enter the classroom therefore sharing the glitter "pathogens"
making a huge heart with 6 pieces of poster board and having the students walk through as a blood cell.

I use differnt renditions of the exam and I keep the students separated by an emptly chair whenever possible. I warn them in advance that phones should be put away during tests and that any phone out during the test will be considered cheating as well as any conversations during tests.
