Being a Good instructor is rewarding

Its great to be organized and prepared for class.

Who is the customer to the Career College student or employer?

For the most part, our students are making career changes or coming into an indusry fresh. Essentially, we could teach them anything we wanted--- and they would not know any better. But, if the new skills we have taught them are not in demand or employable. Win-Lose-Lose is an unacceptable approach to edcuation.

EL 102 is a winner

EL 102 was a very good course. This is my 3rd CAPPS course, and I felt like the course was very relevant to the real world, unlike the last course I took.

Reminding Me

This course reminded me of strategies that I should use on the occasion that mine is not working well.

Ed 110

Ed 110 was a very good course for helping to eliminate and reduce stress. I would recommend it. Thanks.

Embracing Technology ED119

Recommend the course.  Great discussion on embracing technology and key issues facing teaching the Millenial Generation of Learners today.

Learned Testing Technical Differences

Surely I knew the basic differences between the tests, but knowing the "why" and "how" for each was not always clear to me.  This course aided me in a better understanding of each test and how other methods could be used and which ones, for my course would be better to stay away from. 

Helpful course

Great course, I have learn a lot of helpful ideas for teaching others.

Learning More

Taking this course as enlighten me more of how to get around in the classroom and to connect with the students.

Finishing the training

Although I never thought of the different things that were brought up in this course i really gained a lot of insight from this training course.

This really helped

I enjoyed this course. It was straight forward and helped me look ahead on becoming a better instructor.

ED102

Awesome course!

Well written and very down to earth. The content was intresting and a good reinforcement.

ED104

An educational synonym fest, Good content but you really had to read past all the educator speak to get to the real message.

 

Other than that good class

EDU 114

This course provided me with an additional prospective on  the use of different types of questions in the classroom. The article was informative and enlightening, I would give it a thumbs us.

 

EL114 Copyrights and Instructors

This course is eye opening.  For profit schools are not covered by some of the legislation that covers non-profits.  Instructors must be careful of using material from the internet - one ALWAYS should at least request permission from the copyright owner before using the material.  Also, the copyright laws are typically 30-40 years behind the times when it comes to technological advances, so beware.  And finally, contact your school librarian, who could be the best source of what you need to know in this area. 

A good course that all instructors should take - and then heed.

Just a Warning to help others

ED117 has a ton of multiple true multiple choice questions in the final.  Unless your a strong test taker I would avoid it.

Those type of questions require you to have deductive reasoning in a inductive situation.

It's content was good but because of this the learning is not rewarding in the end. 

ED-101 Effective Teaching Strategies

I found this course to be very helpful.  The techniques and strategies for planning and preparation presented are the ones I use in a classroom setting.  New instructors will benefit from the suggestions.  

 

Social Media

This class was interesting and encourages social media among online classes- well done.

ED102 Student Retention

Course was very informative. I learned alot. Thanks 

Student Retention

I really enjoyed this training session.  At our school, enrollment has been the lowest it has ever been.  And, I think every one of my fellow instructors should complete this training session.  It was very helpful in giving new ideas on how to make each and every class exciting.  Examples on how to keep the students interested, excited and motivated were clearly given.  Excellent course.
