A Well-prepared Syllabus

As well prepared as we can be with a syllabus, we cannot prepare it as well as we would like because of a number of reasons. 1-We cannot access them until the last minute. 2-We are no longer able to edit them.

I didn't see this in the module, so I thought I'd ask... Does anyone here use the Socratic Method? If so, what does this method mean to you, and how do you use it in your class?

instructors only get one chance

As with most in life, you only get a chance to make a first impression once. The tone of the classroom will be set from the first impression. Students will immediately gauge the level of commitment has by the first impression.

taking of things on the front end

Taking care of the mechanical aspects of the classroom from the outset allows instructors to focus on the content. More importantly, ensuring that all the classroom mechanical aspects of the classroom are understood by all students avoids several misunderstandings.

Use of memory

I have found that the use of applying what is learned to what has already been instilled is quite effective in the use of memory in learning.

Freedom Writing and Active Learning

I am considering integrating a "Freedom Writers" aspect to my courses next quarter. The idea is that students would use writing as a means to not only work through their own problems, but also to inspire others. Has anyone used the "Freedom Writers" book before? I need tips/suggestions! Thanks in advanced!

Questions that are Unclear

Often times in my teaching experience I find that rewording a question and also stating the questions in various ways has assisted me with making a question more clear.

Teaching Coding Visually

After reading through this module I gained some insight on how to teach Coding with teams of students and create a visual atmosphere. In my next lecture, I will incorporate this by placing students into small groups and have them to code different parts of the assignment and rotate them so that each student has an understanding of when to use each coding rule.
