  I greatly respect students who mostly have intrinsic motivators to learn anatomy and physiology. Unfortunately, the majority of students learn of because of extrinsic motivators. :)

During this section of the course I've learned some new ideas how to increase the autonomy for adult student.

 For example: allow students to write down some questions that could be used by instructor in real assessments, allow students to give feed back about instructional methods.

Listening to students and their experiences can teach the teacher. 

motivate students by incorporating your own personal work experiences and stories into their learning so they understand that everything they learn with you transfers to the real world 

by learning who the student is youre able to cater the learning for them, 

stick to the curriculum but make it your own, have fun with it and the students will mirror your vibe 

a students comfortability directly correlates with how well they will learn in your class 

There are different methods that make adult students feel more secure. Security is a component of motivation.

I was reminded that enthusiasm of the instructor, being approachable when needed, making students accountable for their success are very important qualities for any instructor.

What have you learned from this module and how do you intend to apply it?

When in career education you are going to have not only a variety of cultures but a variety of age as well. Some of these students may have a physical or cognitive disability. Students are going to have fears, frustrations, and circumstances that they need to feel supported and heard.
