I believe beginning this general education classroom requires advance preparation, objectives and topics written onto the white board, and possibly handouts for student note taking. I instruct by presenting the basics, then walking around the classroom as students work on computer assignments from myitlab.com. I encourage students to work with one another (on skill-based projects,, not exams) and raise their hand when they need to stop me for assistance. This information in this modular is a perfect reminder that I need to continue teaching as I have been, oh, with a smile, too! :)

Hello, it is most important when providing answers to our students that we have the correct answers. Either we should seek the correct answer, or provide a contact/redirect to the correct department or the students department chair for the correct answer. I never would guess at an answer, especially with the accreditation in the balance.

Being prepared for your students is an awesome feeling! You prepared! ah, what a feeling, you planned the work, and worked the plan! As you stand aside for 20 seconds observing your students working in the lab, you take pride in the lesson, and their application of the lesson during lab. Nothing better than having handouts ready, guest speakers engaged and a field trip to solidify the students engagement to their instruction.
