I learned that I need to know the personalities of my students and do a little bit of "crowd control" so that all of my students are involved equally and in a way that is beneficial to them.

I have learned that I need to be clear and concise with my students on certain things - such as due dates and my expectations of them - and ensure that they know all of the rules/deadlines/etc. to be successful in the course.

I have learned that I need to get to know my students and try to cater my teaching style to their learning style. I need to be personable and clear in my teaching and ensure that I stay connected with them to be able to teach them in a way that will be clear, understandable and effective.

This portion of the module taught me that even though it is crucial to outline the expectations of the course for the students, it is also very important to calm their "first day anxieties" and get to know them a bit/let them get to know you. Ensure they are comfortable to promote learning.

Throughout this module, I have learned that it is so important to be prepared and concise throughout the learning course for the students. This includes giving them a detailed syllabus in the beginning of the course, and ensuring that they know their deadlines/what is expected of them throughout the course in order to be successful. It is also important to show your students that you are dedicated to them and their learning experience.

From this content, I have learned that my roles are to be a model, a manager and a motivator! I have reflected throughout the course on my personal experience with education/teachers - who I found to be effective and a model/motivator, and things I did not like as a student. I will take this into consideration when I start teaching my students, and will be sure to always stay up to date/educated myself so I can be a valuable asset and teacher to my students.
