Thanks for your response Wilfredo. Classroom management can come in many forms but the final analysis of success is in the results of your actions. It appears to me that you are a top level instructor who takes teaching and learning very seriously. You have demonstrated through your response that you care about pedagogy and the dynamics of group activities. Your response also provided insight into your willingness to learn from other faculty members and to take what you have learned and apply new skills and techniques into your own classrooms. I love that you have self-evaluated as a motivated individual and your focus on your teaching process. Now you have some knowledge and resources to take teaching to an even new level. Take what you have learned in this class and monitor the impact on the next series of courses you teach. Self-evaluation is critical and the best instructors tend to measure what they have learned and evaluate by means of changes in student success and persistence. I would be most interested in hearing of your experiences over time. If you would be interested, you are welcome to join my professional network in LinkedIn. I have provided the address to my LinkedIn profile if you are interested; there is no obligation of any kind to take any action here, totally voluntary on your part. http://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesajacksonjr Kindest regards, James
