I have found that if student do a quick review after the lecture they retain about twice as much.

Students could benefite greatly from a lecture on note taking. Outline skills and abbreviations are valuable. Too many students are lazy when it comes to using the pen or pencile.This is not good.

I frequently outline each lecture on my marker board. This way I keep focused and the stucents know as well!!

I believe one area men have to be careful of is bonding about sports in the classroom. This can go over the line in student teacher relations.

I believe an instructor could benefite from student suggestions as to how they could improve their skills.

It may be valuable for students to log a 3x5 card for each lecturing which contains nuggets of learning from each lecture and share these nuggets with the class mid term

I believe that each student should write down three career goals and share these goals with the class. The feed back could be valuable.

I believe informal introductions during the first class can help with student fears. At this time career goals and family information can be shared.
