informative

I enjoyed this lesson. It was very informative!

formative and summarative evaluations

This section definately gives instruction on how to evaluate your students progress and assess the level of compitence they have regarding retaining what is learned as well as the understansding of the content through testing and application

Different ways of lecture

This actually really helped me define what you want to base your lectures on and how to approach the lecture situation in a whole

Do students make an instructor?

Does the attitude and quality of the students which you are teaching form you into the instructor you are today?

How do you handle students who are perpetually late with their work

It is diffcult to verify the legitimacy of their reasons or excuses without the benefit of body language and tone of voice.  Online documentation can be forged easily.  It is time consuming the verify the documents if the student is from another state or another country,

Evaluating Student Participation

Can  you really rely on students to evaluate their own and other students participation.  I have seen non-contributing students take credit for stuff they did not do and group leaders willing to share credit where it has not been earned.

Praise

How do you reward your students or give them praise

?

Learning Environment

I would like to know how best to engage students who are struggling early in the course content.

Passive learning

How can we encourage learning?

Persuasive Learning

How can someone be the best at this technique?

Learning from students

Generating class discussion can be important for many reasons. I helps get them engauged with the lesson, keeps them focused, and

the instructor can learn what the are interested in.  That information can be useful for guiding the lesson to keep students interest.

Flipping The Classroom

I would absolutely LOVE to teach in a "flipped classroom' forum. I devoured this topic and read whatever I can outside Maxknowledge on the subject.  I teach science subjects in a Dental Hygiene College where the students are required to pass written boards at the end of the program.  I am interested in ways to initiate less in-class lecture however these students need to know factual information in order to pass boards. How would one test on a major amount of factual knowledge?   Also, I have noticed that some students are intimidated to actively join in the group and the same 'outgoing' students wind up with most of the input for the in-class project. 

Instructional Delivery and Assessment

What is one example of learning instructional delivery "the hard way"? A "lesson learned" that you might want to share?

types of questions

i learned a lot from this discussion, it opened my eyes on differnt types such as open, closed  and more questions.

poorer student

why we should offer poorer student less time?

course content

would past students make good guest speakers?

starting the day

I have recently have been in front of a very stressed group. Listening to the group and try methods to calm everyone down, learning from this course: out line what they will cover that day, on the white board.

What method do you use to assess fair treatment of a students' learning opportunities?

We all want to be fair in allowing opportunities for learning, but should we give all students the same opportunity to revise their work based on the decision to help a few?  It is usually a small percentage who fall into this category of needing this type of help.  Is it fair to those students who worked hard to get their grade only for the instructor to be seen as showing favoritism for a select few to make up work?

motivational attitudes

How motivating instructors demonstrates empathy?
