Instructional Delivery & Assessment

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Course Planning

When planning my course, I try to think of ways to engage the students, and not just lecture, I want them to have an interest so that they retain the information.

When introducing myself it usually takes me two to three class sessions to remember student names but I usally make little notes on post-its to help me remember their names.

My experience

In my experience I have found that being prepared before class makes the class session smoother for myself as well as my students. Reading all necessary materials helps you to be more confident when it comes to answering questions that students needs answers too.

Am I a scholar, a writer, an entertainer, a comedian or instructor??

I liked this phrase in the text! it pretty tiring task to gain the attention of your students for 2 hour lecture, I hope that one of my students would answer this question in behalf of me!! I believe that I should be all of the above at the same time, especially when it come to the entertainer part! I through jokes that are relevant to the class talk about movies that are relevant to the subject, and then return to main subject, I think this alteration between being serious and being funny would give the student a mind break

First Impressions

Dressing professionally, being on time, living that modeled life you put before the students will set the tone for the classroom setting. If you expect all students to be on time, be professional, dress professional then you must take your own advice and do the same.

First impression

I usually like to make the first class informative but light.. Sets the mood for an excellent term

Syllabus

When it comes to a syllabus I always prefer to write my own rather than going off of a generic syllabus. Has more meaning that way.. Just my 2 cents..

Teaching Style

I'm a fairly new teacher and as new students come in each term I feel that every student learns differently. New challenges always happen daily.

Multiple Choice and Short Answers

I use both methods of evaluation in addition to requiring group work in the course because it gives students the most opportunities for success. My goal is to find ways to help students succeed and build their confidence that they can master the subject material.
