I found the kinesthetic learner interesting. Also, I may try incorporating a way to learn my students' learning styles next semester.

Doubling up on content. I agree with this. You think you have plenty of work for your students, but you usually do not. Don't underestimate their ability to take shortcuts or just fly through the material. They're not worried about learning, they're worried about "getting done". 

Again, it seems like this content is targeted for teachers instructing adults. Most of this is Classroom Management 101. I don't agree with the suggestion to let angry students vent. They're taking time away from the class and instruction. Other students may decide to start venting in order to waste class time and avoid work.

As far as cheating goes, make multiple versions of the same test. Only give physical tests - do not use digital ones. Problem solved.

What was your worst/most challenging class, and how did you deal with it?

I noticed this content seems to be focused on college students. I teach high school. However, some of these strategies look like they could work for classroom management.

I don't accept late work. I give students plenty of time to complete assignments during class.

Typically, I don't spend a lot of time on the syllabus. I can see now how restructuring it and making it more student friendly will improve the first week or so of class.
