I agree that this course could help subject matter experts exponentially. First, regarding classroom instruction and relating to and devloping rapport with students. It is sometimes so difficult to realize that not all have the same information implanted in their minds and we as instructors/SME's need to be mindful of this in our dealings with the multiplicity of personalities which make up our student body. Second, SME's and instructors have an educational responsibilty to maintaining that status of expert and effective at managing classroom interactions among diverse bodies of people. I feel that this has upgraded my ability to consider myself an IME, and it has helped me build more confidence in the things I do correctly and well, helped me realize some of the things that I do not do so well, and has adapted some tools to aid me in correcting the things that need correcting.
