grading system

the task doesn't matter easy or hard stress that the procedure, the safety facter, the correct use of tools, the correct time frame,all lab partners participating equally this is the difference in one students grade over the other

plan on things going wrong or interruptions and when they happen it's not a fustration and it's easier to get the students to go along when you get upset so does the student

white boards and power points

both of these methods are benefical but don't read the power point use it only as a reference the student can read the presentation you have to be able to deliver the content yourself

type of instructor

I want to be proud of the influence I've instored in the student if he is a success then I did what was right Every time a student graduates from our school he takes our reputation with him

To much time.

Even though some of my students do tend to finish there assignments early it gives me a chance to have them go back to a lab and instead of just doing the the lab,now i ask them to get more in depth and more advanced in there research. So in stead of just finding the problem i might ask them to find the cause of the problem.

back up or additional material?

Most delivery back up plans end up being additional material for the class to use. Ive noticed that most of the time that back up ends up being used to fill up time but also used as standard matirial for the course. Since this is the case should I ceate another back up?
