Les I think you have developed a real good system of refining your instructional style by using the three points you listed. The key point for the first item is the method of feedback you use. I hope you have developed a method that gives clear and concise feedback from each represented group. I would be interested in any additional information that you would like to share about your feedback method. The studying of other styles is always a good idea. One thing I find is that by exploring other delivery options I can improve my instruction while maintaining a level of excitement about my course, even though I may have taught it many times before. This way it doesn't become boring. Also, it is through forums like this that professionals can exchange ideas that will help them to expand and improve their instructional delivery. The idea of being receptive to change is always a challenge. We must be receptive to change but sometimes we are resistive due to the effort it takes to change or we are afraid of what might happen if we do change. Thank you for reminding us for the need to keep the change element in our personal improvement plan. Gary
