Always be prepared and organized. If you make a mistake, make the students aware that you know you made the mistake and you take responsibility. Humor can help the students open up to you.

I learned in this lesson to always have control of your class. When dealing with an angry student, listen to what they have to say.

Get to know your students and their actions. Knew which ones are there to learn and those that will want to manipulate you. 

I have learned that when starting a new class, you need to set clear instructions and expectations. Also, you need to try to connect with all the students. Show them respect and expect the same from them.

Overprepare, be very organized, a couple of strategies that will help you as you gain the experience you lack as a new instructor. 

I really appreciated this lesson as it taught me much about handlining the different student personalities.  

How do you handle a student that would never complete his task on time and always try to be friendly with the instructor?

I learnt that a new instructor must be organized to earn the students, respect

I learned a great deal with this topic. I loved the idea given of an "observer" to better deal with the center-stage student. I will use it from now on. 

Apart from the fact that clear expectations need to be set from the beginning of the course, it is important that the student knows that the information they are learning can be applied to their careers or career paths. WIIFM( what's in it for me), they definitely will be more interested and engaged.
