This was a very beneficial support tool. It presented concepts that I wasn't familiar with and provided teaching strategies that I am interested in utilizing. 

Always ensure videos are no more than 15 minutes and then expand on videos and conduct an exercise relating to the videos.

I am a new intructor and am nervous but very excited to start my first class. This course has provided ways to stay organized and confident with my course. I plan to implement what I have learned here with my small group first and work my way up to my larger classes. After this term is over I believe I will have a better understanding of successful intructing. Then I believe I can take another course and continue to learn how to improve my new career for myself and for my students. 

This was great. I learned so much. 

The more varied and paced the presentation of the content the higher rate of retention.  Also experience is the best teacher.  Always be willing to try something new.

Great introductory course.

This was a great course for a new instructor. I learned some great ideas & others were re-inforced.

As someone new to the field of academic teaching, this course helps me to understand what is expected in delivering success and hope to any students I am fortunate enough to teach.  I now get the see the "other side" I so often criticized and have gained a new perspective of what instructors are responsible for.  I tip my hat to those who have a passion for teaching and instructing.  It isn't easy, but can be very rewarding.

I plan to take the information given in this course and apply it to become a better instructor everyday.  It is a… >>>

All my career I participate, as a student or an instructor, in various courses and classes, with an important experince and teaching skills. Since I have started this programme I understood I am still learning new tricks!

I am confident I will do a good job teaching!

I have started this year (2017-2018) teaching Security Studies, on a part time basis, at the "Petru Maior" University in Targu Mures, Romania.

It si not the first time I am doing this, but now I am working with Genration Y students and is challanging. I will continu to perfect miself and my teaching tecniques as aften as possible.

It is going to be challanging beause the University doesn't have the resources and the knowledge that JSOU and other US Universities have!

But we are going to get there!

A grat basic refresher course.

This was a very interesting, i enjoyed the lesson and looking forward to flipping some of my class.

The hardest Challenges that I have encountered is teaching hands on lab with students that are left handed. Everything that I present is from the right hand prosective. Its hard to present the other side. this is where smaller groups of students are teamed together to observe a demo and work together to learn from each other. Meaning have a group of students that have in common the left hand approach.

I plan to develop a more specific learning plan for next session.

Lately I have been having the students use an Ipad that I provide to video the lecture that I later add to the canvas shell for them to be able to review.

I just learned once students have either graduated from high school or turned 21 yrs old who have a "LEARNING" disability are now no longer entitled to the IEP (individual educational plan) which provided them with special accommodations through the federal law "individuals with disability act 2004".  I have worked at previous universities who apparently are not aware of this...very interesting.

To bring more technology learning into the classroom. It will definitely enhance my teaching skills and has given me many new ideas. 

I am so glad I did this module.  My first class I was so nervous but I went in with confidence knowing that I can make a difference. It was truly a blessing and I felt so comfortable teaching.  I will used what I have learned thus far in future classes.

Face your fears in changing your teaching methods. This course made me aware of some things that I have to change to be an effective promotor of knowledge and skills.

I found this course trigger self-reflection on my own soft skills.  There were areas where I was made aware needed to improve; suggestions were offered on how to overcome the weakness.  I was thrilled to read the Pennsylvania survey which I can use to impact students who resist the need to build their soft skills.  I think this is truly a course all instructors could use.
