I really enjoyed the course ,it has given me ideas that I will be able to implement in future classes. I know from experience that it is not always easy to keep to a pre-set lesson plan. I like the idea that the lesson plan is not set in stone but rather evolving.Adding notes to the lesson plan and commenting on what was successful and also items that were not so effective, is very helpful when I teach future classes.
The idea that you need to be flexible and adaptable is great advise. When I first started teaching I always tried to stick strictly to the lesson plan but realized that this is almost impossible to do all the time, things happen changes are made all the time, it is best to be flexible and update the lesson plan accordingly. The main objective is that the students obtains as much knowledge and skills as possible , as outlined by the course curriculum.
