What I have learned from this course is that there is more to being an instructor than your experience in the field. I also learned that you have to have soft skills as well as professional skills. Lastly I learned that regardless of all the experience you may have in the field, it doesn't mean anything if you don't have the ability to teach it to students.

I learned about using the right testing type to measure what needs to be assessed. 

Evaluation and assessment of students and instructors is important to understand. We must determine if the message we send is the message being received, using a variety of the methods discussed.

To use different types of questions based on the various student situations. Using questions to get students up to the level of understanding you are trying to achieve for them. Listen carefully, give and encourage their feedback.

Utilizing a flipped classroom incorporates Bloom's Taxonomy.  Not only will students remember the terms/information, they will be applying the information to scenarios and/or real-life situations.  This will improve the quality of learning.

The flipped classroom is a helpful strategy, especially when you have a lab component within your course.  I do see resistance from students, however, this is more because the concept of a flipped classroom is new to them.  I see the importance of students being allowed to take the time with the material and taking a deeper dive into those concepts that are new or intriguing to them.  

In short, be aware of all learning styles, how to recognize individual preferred methods, my own style, and how to incorporate the different styles to take advantage of maximum learning opportunities.

This course reminds me that part of teaching is not only modeling and training others, but an important part of that is to continue improving on myself as well. 

Ive learned the importance of planning beforehand. This helps your class to run smoothly.

i learned to have a plan and have a way to adjust the plan if the class is having difficulty processing the onformation
