Monitoring Students

Monitoring students is a good strategy to employ to prevent undesirable behaviors. It also shows that the instructor cares enough for his or her students as individuals.

Application-based instruction

Application-based Instruction in which students themselves provide examples of their own experiences is an effective way to capture and maintain students' attention.

Testing material

I prefer to use standardize test, as long as it covers the material I covered in my lectures. I actually take the standardize test prior to me giving it out so that I know the material on the test is something we covered in class. However, I prefer to not use T/F questions because it is either or and does not provide how much the students comprehended.

Evaluating students progress

How do you evaluate a students progress beside testing them on the material discussed. How do you assess their knowledge of the material unless you include short answer questions, otherwise multiple choice is a process of elimination.

How to keep students engaged

I begin to provide stories about specific topics when I see students are looking bored and drifting off. I start asking them questions about the topic at hand and request feedback.

Learning style

I obtain my learning style and teaching style through trial and error while managing staff. I learned people are different and they have different skill sets. Students like employees learn at different styles, which means you have to address them by what is best for them to receive what you are teaching them.

Active Learning

Lecturing has been my style of instruction for maany years. These days I have been inondated with active learning, active learning and more active learning being talked about for all class room activity. Because of this module I have seen how I can still lecture but do it in a way that will be more receptive to my students.

What classes is best

It is best to meet with a counselor prior to starting any courses. This way you can get an idea if the course will best fit your overall career agenda

Assesing the progress of your students

This very important for us as instructor to asses your students all the time as sometimes you could think that the information was well received and processed by your students but you discover the opposite when you start asking questions related to what you just covered, so this is as important as teaching because it will reflect the amout of knowlege really recievedby your students. Thanks

Getting students to ask questions

I often times have a VERY hard time getting students to ask questions while lecturing. Kinda like pulling teeth sometimes. I wonder if anyone has any advice to help me get them to speak up.

First day introductions

Hello All, I always debate the idea of providing my students with an oral resume on the first day of class. I hesitate with this idea because I do not want to come off as being "know it all" Does anyone have any suggestions on how to give a brief introduction on my education/experience?
