Should students have a copy of the exact power point slides to take note on, or will that make them pay less attention?

My class was having trouble focusing, and people were chatting a lot. Some students complained that they were being distracted. I decied to assign seats, and the class has become better behaved. Was this a good idea, or am I treating them like kids?

Materials should be ready prior to class start.

Instructors should shadow another instructor if they have never taught a particular subject. This can give the instructor more confidence in teaching the material.

lesson plans should be in relation to the books, materials needed to teach the course.

Preparing a lesson plan is a huge positive working tools that all instructors should have for every subject.

In my self-analysis, I realized I coming to class five minutes early does not allow for all of the preparation required to set up for the day. I like to have my class topic and objectives written on the board before students arrive, and most days I am bombarded with questions before I get a chance to set my books down. There goes my five minute lead! I also take my 18-month old to daycare every morning, and it is not always a predictable process. I need to create more time in the morning, so I will try the 30-day behavior to habit rule and get out of bed as soon as I am awake every day, instead of hitting the "snooze" button. What are some successful techniques that you use to carve out more time to prepare for class?

An effective to which aids facilitators to gage how the materials being disseminating are reaching the students

Diversification could be a great tool if the instructor knows how to properly meet the needs of each students by engaging them to share their experience in class.

Is an effective lecture model that aid picture learning/observation. students.

I certainly agree with incorporating trips into the course session. Students do experience much more from such as experience.

if we do not give the students the proper tools to achieve their goals the end assesment will not be right.

the outcomes or goals are very important so the student knows exactly what is to be exspected at the end af the class.

sets the tone so the students knows what is to be exspected every class

great class and will use all of the info. The first couple of days sets way for the entire class

What should be the point criteria when a student turns in an assignment late? Lets consider late any time after the class was dismiss the day the assignment was do.

If you have a student that come to class without the background experiences needed to be successful in course and fair the pretest because it is a language problem, (foreign students for example), what can I do to keep him updated with the rest of the class?

"Make sure that the media you choose doesn't overpower you as the instructor." How can I be avoid this? Must of the time I use PP.

How can you keep the excitement of the trip engage in the purpose of the trip without losing the students attention?

Students like taking short straight forward tests, thus allowing the instructor to see whether they get the information or do not.
