This course gave me a differnt view that i real did'nt think about. Looking through the eyes of a student helps me figure out me how i can be a better instructor. 

I have to keep the students interested and motivated

I Learned that learnativity. I will the concept of learnativity by keeping the active and progressive during class time. 

Instructor Enthusiasm is very important for student motivation. I will apply this by being Enthusiastic each day I am teaching my class.

Learn to see the classroom and lab how the students see them so that you can get a better understanding of how they think and learn. Also to listen to the students that may have problems or issues with people and suggest solutions for them to show them that you are there for them and want them to succeed.

Transformative learning styles allow the student to set their own goals and achieve them in a self-paced atmosphere. Allowing self-teaching for those students who possess the required motivation and aptitude is a positive method of engaging them with the course material. 

Leading by example, doing demonstrations, and advising students on an individual basis sets a tone to the classroom and is key for the overall development of the student.

Paraphrasing and passive listening are key tools in making your students feel heard.

I disagree with the sentiment that students should be treated as customers. Especially in the younger adult learning environment, my experience is this shifts the focus from education to profit. Focusing on the quality of the education or the course as a whole will return positive reviews, and make students more likely to recommend the course to others.

Students have their own individual reasons for continuing their education. Each student has different challenges that they face. Focusing on the challenges that can be changed or eliminated can improve retention while showing empathy towards the challenges that cannot be mitigated.
