interesting... requires further study

I joined the US Nuclear Navy in the fall after graduating high school, and became an instructor training high school and college graduates how to operate a nuclear power plant.

After discharge ten years later, I was an adult learner obtaining a BS in Chemistry in three years, while working full time in food processing industry as an environmental engineer, with a wife, 3.5 children, a mortage payment, etc. 

I migrated to the semiconductor industry, back to the food industry, then back to the nuclear industry, before coming back to my Alma Mater to teach technical students, at age 58. … >>>

It's important to understand students motivating factors learning, learning styles, assess their prior knowledge and exeperiences and have a supportive learning environment.

Understanding brain-based intelligence can be helpful with teaching adult learners. 

I have used Knowles theory in Master's thesis and Doctorate dissertation. As post-secondary educator his theory has helped me be more relevant to my adult learners.  

It is good the be able to pinpoint my strengths and weaknesses in managing a classroom.  Appreciate this course!

All three theories have developmental implications in adulthood and I can understand how lack of achievement in those areas may have impact in adult learning. 

As an adult learner myself, this module speaks to my personal career goals and motivations. 

I really enjoyed learning about the different ways to help students process and retain different information. Its a great reminder that just a powerpoint and lecture with no other suplemental learning avenues isn't impactful for everyone. I always try to bring interactive elements into the lecture like props but will definately add some other elements after this module. 

Using mnemonics, scaffolding and visual aids can give students various ways to retain information.
