A Syllabus is the golden rule. It will help the students understand everything that is taking place in the classroom and it helps you to ensure that the students follow and abide by it.

As someone that is new to teaching in the university setting, it will be important to demonstrate confidence in my knowledge and abilities due to my experience. I also will need to accept that mistakes will happen, but that I need to use those mistakes and learn from them in order to become a better instructor.

Angry or disruptive students present a particular challenge. If taking the time to listen and help diffuse the situation doesn't help, then it is important to get another faculty member or the director involved. If the behavior continues, then steps will need to be taken to dismiss the student from your course.

I liked all the tips; however, the one I liked the most was the one regarding the talkative students and giving them cards to help them refocus and participate with their comments that are more relevant. 

Reviewing the syllabus on the first class to set the stage for the expectations and how each student can succeed in the class along  with the due dates for assignments and penalties for late assignments.

How we handle or cope with stress affects not only ourselves but others around us too. However, not all stress can be eliminated or reduced. So this stage is when coping mechanisms are needed, and we need to cope in healthy ways. Examples of these healthy options are exercising, deep breathing exercises, and talking. 

Stress is a big part of life, even when we do our best to decrease or minimize it. Sometimes we are unaware of stress because we accept it or believe it isn't harmful. How we handle stress is a factor in balancing our life. The examples of stressors in personal life and work life are good and pointed out some things that maybe we did not think about. I also like how it pointed out how it affects our health short-term and long-term. A lot of times we do not realize how these affect us. 

I learned the importance of classroom accountability, including setting clear expectations for assignment deadlines. I also learned that assigned seating can be useful even in college courses. In my classroom, I would rotate seating assignments regularly, incorporate activities that encourage participation, and follow up with questions to keep students who may be difficult to engage involved in the learning process.

I intend to apply what I have learned by being prepared for unexpected challenges in my personal life, education, and workplace. I will work on improving my problem-solving and communication skills, staying calm in difficult situations, and considering possible solutions before making decisions.

Make a plan and follow it. This can be done by staying organized and pivoting when things occur.
