I thought the suggestion of inviting the reps to come in to the classroom and observe was an excellent idea. This will help them understand each subject a little better.

I walk around my class while I lecture. I use power points during the lecture. I interact with all of them individually and with group assignmernts. I ask my students to challange me....and they do! They want to learn. I make a game out it if they stump me they get 5 points and if I stump them I take 5 points......The one with the most points at the end of the semester gets 5 extra points on their overall grade.

I really enjoyed the material presented in this course.  The course gave me additional tools to effectively manage my classroom.  Enforcing campus rules such as no to food in the classroom is a challenge because there is no consistency among instructors on following this policy. 

A few things I liked about this course was the tips to make grading of Assignments, Exams and Quizzes easier. Having the students underlining the most important part of their answers will not only make it easier for the instructor to grade but also increase the chance for the student to answer the question. Additionally the advice to create a box for the short answers questions where the students put their answer in should make it easier to correct the exams.

I'd like to think that my instructing skills are similiar to those taught in this program.  My personality has allowed me to become a people person and show empathy towards every individual both in and out of any classroom.  Introduction to any class requires an idividual with empathy and clarity skills.  I, of which, pocess these skills.  I treat each student, peers and faculty with respect and expect it in return.  Students usually perform better if they feel you can relate to them up close and personal.  Eye conact, active listening and feedback are key points to guiding your class… >>>

This course helped me learn how to assess student frame of mind in a better way. I plan to work on reaching students on more levels.

It was good to have a refresher of ideas and tools to use in the classroom. These modules will help me to plan for engaging activities for my students. I can utilize these tools daily and help my students get the most from their education.

This experience has giving me a great insight on managing everyday stressers!
