Assessments are important because it allow instructors to determine the knowledge of the students, so they are able to move them to the next level of the lesson. Examples of an assessment can range from a worksheet to a test, oral questions to written responses, and a pop quiz to turning in a project. 

Learning objectives and standards are important to the success of a instructor's lesson plan. They help the instructor and students understand what the purpose of a lesson is. When instructors create objectives, they need to know why the objectives are being set, who they are serving, and how they will be accomplished. 

You should always be prepared. Because, you will never know when a student will have a question about why they are completing an assignment. Having an answer helps put their questions to rest. 

As an instructor, it is important to have the appropriate resources for your students, so they gain the most from your lesson. Resources are important because they help students broaden what they know about a subject. By applying resources, it will help engage students in different activities. 

This lesson highlighted two great reminders:  1) Students, like water, will take the path of least resistance....and 2) Keep your gradebook up to date.
