students grading should be base on their performance. Of course other class activities do matters.

I am a new instructor and about to complete my first year teaching. I have found that mayking your own style as an instructor really help me in having my students feel more confortable and open minded to learn. At first i was very nervous and did not know what to expect, but after a few months my personality and style of teaching emerged. This made the class more fun and interesting for my students and most important they were learning.

I constantly encouarge my students to come to tutoring or study sessions. I even talk about how I attended some study sessions myself during college. I say this to encourage them to participate and take advantage of the opportunity to expand their knowledge of the subject.

In a world where everyone loves ascribing to themselves labels that are debilitating on some perceived level, there are some students that, consciously or not, revel in it. Being model, manager and motivator can be perceived as an exercise in tact to some instructors.

If an instructor is truly self actualized in terms of teaching style, there is no need for him/her to feel like he/she is forced into becoming a machine, as I have heard newer instructors complain. It is the basis for more, much as it is described herein.

Most important to do a technology run through, no matter how long you have been at a campus--other instructors using the room do crazy things with the equipment sometimes....

As a potentially high risk exercise, do others find that having the group do self progression assessments a way to keep everyone involved and equally participating? I do this for groups of 4 or so when working on a 5 week project.

It's like Schopenhauer's porcupines--only with conditional needles, and unconditional warmth.

A wide variety or use of all the test formats will ensure that the content of the subject matter is applied by the student in that no matter how a question is asked the student is able to determine the answer.

These are important for both the instructor and the student. The instructor can use the assessments to determine if the information is delivered, retained and applied in accordance with the course syllabus.

This is a very effectice way to understand the level of understanding that the class has regarding the subject matter. Open discussion will allow the instructor to determine if the intended concept is received by the class.

I have students with learning disabilities are some of my best students. When they tell me about their learning disability I make the effort to afford them what they need to be successful. I find they are also willing to help other students in the same situation.

It is important to incorporate all learning styles in the adult learner setting to challenge them to become diverse and able to learn in all environments. This will best prepare them for the workforce which is ever changing and diverse.

I have found in every class that I will have at least one or two students with learning disabilities. They often feel they have never been successful in school and are easily discouraged. With positive motivation and using learning tactics to reenforce their abilities they are are motivated learners.

Besides the participation of group members on projects I believe that group work develops a teamwork principle in the students that they will use in the workplace.

I like to move around the classroom to keep the students involved in the instruction. Then I will stop in front of a students desk and ask a question. I usually make the questions relevant to the instruction to reenforce that they are part of the class and evolved in the learning process.

I know this may not be the place to say this but I am having trouble with this course. This was about lab learning and learning styles. But this course only focused on 1 style to us that have took it. The was no thought games/quizzes and it was 100% read this understand it and take a test at the end hope you pass. This is the 5th course I have taken from Max Knowledge and this is the only one I have been very disappointed with. I feel that I have not received anything out of this course except a headache. In my opinion this course need to be reworked with breaks at the end of each module for a quiz and thought exercise.

It is awesome to use other methods of teaching. The students are more alert and active in the discussion. I love using different methods.

The first day of class and being prepared for it can not only help you let you inform your students on what you expect but lets you set an example of what you expect. I have learned that if I am on time, students are on time. If I hand out assignments when I should, students turn them in when they should. If I become lax so do the students.

It is sometimes hard for me to do other activities but I more aware that changing up is a good thing and it does break from lecturing to actually using other techniques to make the room lively and more interesting for the learner. I will figure out some new ideals and work with that and see how I can work that in the class room.
