SHARING CERTAIN EXPERIENCE WITH THE CLASS OF THE SAME SUBJECT MATTER, PUTS STUDENTS AT EASE. THEY KNOW YOU KNOW THE SUBJECT. THEY KNOW THAT YOU ARE HUMAN. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES, BUT AS INSTRUCTOR. YOU SHOULD GO BACK AND CLARIFY.

I FEEL THAT WHEN STUDENTS CHEAT, THE INSTRUCTOR SHOULD HOLD THE STUDENT ACCOUNTABLE. FOLLOW THE SCHOOL PROTOCALL. YOU'RE NOT HELPING THAT STUDENT. WHEN THEY GET OUT TO THE REAL WORLD, THEY STILL WILL NOT KNOW THE INFORMATION.

Enforcing standards in the classroom, keeps students all in check. They are on the same starting ground.

Setting comfort zone in the classroom, should always be set the 1st day. Lay out the do's and don'ts. Be clear and calm.

Because we are a vocational field, I find that it really lets the students know your strengths when I share with them my experiences on the first day. This sets the tone for the expectations as well

Because we turnover classes so frequently, we see a lot of students who think that they can teach the class because they have already done what we are teaching. I am not sure how to exactly handle those types of students. I tend to pull them aside to remind them that I am the instructor

I find that it really helps the students to gain an idea of what they can expect from the class by having the students give their own life experience as it relates to the class. This is accomplished on the first day of a new term while discussing the syllabus and the expectations of and for the class

I am a new teacher and have had an especially difficult time deciding how to approach late/missing assignments in my class. I teach English Composition in a culinary school and some of my classes are pass/fail. I received complaints last term for outlining a rigid late assignment policy and then not sticking to it. Essentially, one of my stronger students felt that more students should have failed the class based on turning in late work. I tried to give my students high expectations at the start of class in order to push them to do their best and be punctual, but as the term progressed I felt it was important to also show flexibility on my behalf. Is it possible to push students to turn everything in on time, but later show flexibility when that 10% fails to turn in their assignments? Is it possible to be both firm and flexible or must I choose one or the other? I just find late/missing work especially difficult to deal with when I am teaching a general education class that is graded pass/fail.

Students with challenges need tutoring

Instructors make the mistake of not catering to all students' learning styles

Students need to focus more

Studentd need more rationales for learning

I have found through my years teaching that unfocused students require a variety of stimulants to maintain their attention. I enjoy breaking up the routine of lecture with visual aids such as power point presentations, videos, or guest speakers.

I find that some students want to be your friend. Then later on I find those same students wanting special treatment when they show up late or don't hand in an assignment on time. I try to be firm, but fair with my students. I always try to maintain that barrier between student and teacher. It just makes things easier in the long run.

I had a student that was one of those "apple Givers". He was combative with other students and disrespectful of all. Eventually I caught him stealing. I privately confronted him, and explained the severity of his actions. I told him I was not going to pursue it, but if I caught him again all bets would be off. The very next day I caught him stealing again. It is now in the hands of the director.

I just taught a class that I found myself constantly having to repeat everything I lectured about. Upon further investigation, I found that half the class had a language barrier, and a few others had learning disabilities. Even though the students are instructed to bring these challenges to the instructors attention, they often don't. It took several classes to get to the bottom of this, and in an excelerated program that is valuable time lost.

As an instructor, students look up to you with high expectations. By maintaining professionalism in and out of the classroom, the students will repsect you as an instructor and a individual.

We can ellievate cheating with the classroom by giving small, mini quizzes, tests. Make these quizzes/ test unexpected. By doing this students will not have any time to preapare for cheat and will be preapred for class.

In order to capture the student's attention the instructor should persent the information in an exciting manner that is profession geared.

By implementing activities, games, researches, current events, and various discussion that stimulating to student’s psyche, not only doe it evoke thinking but, evokes thinking out of the box. This enhances their knowledge as well as self confident and success in life.
