The importance of effective communication for all life skills
Technology can be a helpful tool for improving problem solving and critical thinking skills
Technology can actually be a helpful tool for contextual learning. I think I can bring this to my classroom by providing client "case studies", where students will need to use their critical thinking to adjust the treatment plan as needed.
I loved learning about modeling confidence during my own presentations and how that will impact my students. I would like to incorporate student presentations more often so they can be confident in the material they are learning, while also working on improving the skills needed to be a successful esthetician.

Zach,
Perfect —teach to the level of your students' learning capabilities. An example is teaching at a different level of understanding for graduate students versus undergraduate students.

Joe,
At the close of the course, we can go back and re-evaluate what worked and didn't work and make adjustments.

Arzu,
Excellent point you are making. I suggest we be consistent in whatever we do. Students want to be prepared for what is coming with a few deviations. The goal is to have attendance at the meetings.

Natalie,
Yes, I agree. Demostrate what an (A) looks like.
Formatting is an issue that has not been addressed in this course. As a professor, you are also grading the mechanics of what a student is presenting.
Madison,
The quiz is also a temperature check for the professor. What I mean is the professor was successful in presenting the material based on the quiz grades.
