In order to discourage cheating I have different versions of the test in the same class.

I have had several studentslike this and have had to learn to accept that I cannot change their personality but can tactfully show them how to save it for more appropriate times.

I ahve more success in classes where I can better relate the topic to real life work scenerios the students may face.

Setting class policies at the first day of class helps in preventing issues later on the class, the class policies should be based on the schools policies. For a behavior issue during class a one to one meeting after class, if need during class have the class do a small project while performing the one to one meeting out of hearing range of the class. During the meeting take notes while the student is expressing their concern then summarizing issue helps define the problem after the problem is defined give the student several courses of action sometimes having the student some up with their own solution resolves the issue. If the student remains obstinate and rejects all solutions then the problem should be escalated to include a third parity.

When an instructor dress up, he/she show part of the professionalism.

I think instructor need to be more patient with student that have a hostile attitude in order to control the anger situation.

It is very hard to find a student to be center attention in colleges.

A good and organized syllabus can save a lot of time for students and instructor.

You will never get all of the students to like you. What you need to do is have them respect you. I think that is more important.

Students cheat to see if they can get away with it. By walking around the room, having them put all book bags and paper on the floor this reduces the cheating option.

Students that are not motivated are hard to get to interact with the class however I do try to make them my helper.

How to deal the this situation when it comes up? I am dealing with it currently, so I called the students into my office individually to listen to the explination of the situation and talked to the instructor of the course and looked at the quiz outcomes of both students who were accused and compared answers. Then discussed findings with students and teacher and also the accuser. I discussed the appearance and behavior that is expected during tests and quizzes and to avoid any appearance of possible cheating behavior.

By showing what the students worked so hard on gives them a since of pride and acknowledgement that you gave to them.

As instructors we have professional and moral values to uphold. Students are not friends or buddies and there should be a very clear line. Encouraging them in class and giving feedback and support are great, but handing out is inappropriate.

As instructors we often feel that we need to be the one talking or in control. However, when there is an angry student, we should be silent while we are listening.

Challenging students are always trying to confuse the instructor or try to catch them off guard by asking a really random question. Often times I challenge the student back. I ask them to expand on their question and make it more specific. I usually end up challenging the student and having them solve their own question.

I am truly passionate about teaching/leading students into a new career. It is so rewarding. However, I have to show that passion and excitement about the subject to truly get students ingaged. This is so important whether you like teaching the topic or not.

I feel stressed mostly in my private life rather than my professional life. I am raising a grandchild and although I am married I receive absolutely no assistance at home. So on top of lesson plans, homework time with the little one, grading papers, and lack of sleep, I feel extreme stressors at home.

I am ok with all of the lesson planning, lectures etc. However, I am having a hard time associating and reasoning with the stressers associated with a noninterested student. I let it get to me when a student shows no interest and appears to be elsewhere. I have tried to come up with fun and accommidating ways for this student to bring him back to the classroom discussion. Help

I think I do a pretty ood job of task prioritization. Each day, I write down my to-do goals for the day in order, according to urgency. As my day progresses, I draw a line through the tasks that I have completed, which gives me a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Any leftover tasks are automatically moved to the next day's to-do list, so that nothing falls in the cracks. I love the lesson's suggestion of finding a balance betweeen immediacy and procrastination. There was a time in my professional life when I experienced anxiety if I received an email or voice message that I could not immediately respond to. Since becoming more balanced in this area, my head is clearer, I feel less overwhelmed and I am much more productive!
