Sometimes the best way to deal with a center stage student is to make them a leader.

Honestly, the most stressing me out is traffic.

When you are able to save time for you, your duality of life will be less stressful.

Excellent training,provides good resources how to control our time during the class period.

I have a class with some students that have such low self-confidence and I find that being positive in managing your classes is half the battle. Once the students know you care about them and positive they become more motivated and dependable.

I am a humble person by nature and often say that I don't know about something if I don't know it in the classroom. Do you advise not doing that? What is a good way to handle being honest with the students about not having expertise in an area?

It is important to walk into class on your first day with your head held up high and shoulders back exuding confidence in yourself.

This is a module I would recommend to other instructors, no matter how long they have been teaching. I have been teaching for 15 years and I got so much from this module that I had forgotten about. The reminders in this module really brought back a lot of stuff.

I FIND THAT WHEN I HAVE A DISRUPTIVE STUDENT THAT CONSTANTLY DISRUPS THE CLASS, HAVING THE OTHER STUDENTS TO TAKE A BREAK AND INVITE THE DEAN IN WITH THE STUDENT AND HAVE A MEETING IT IS VERY EFFECTIVE.INTURN THE STUDENT IS HAPPY THAT SOMEONE TOOK THE TIME TO LISTEN.

There is nothing wrong with asking experienced instructors for advice, assistance or help. It is actually a good idea to approach them, because we are all in this together and our number one goal is our students and their learning.

Don't ignore a silent student. Find a way to engage them in them in a discussion by talking about something they are familiar with and comfortable contributing.

I think it can be challenging dealing with type of student, but if you make a point of calling them out everything they make unnecessary comments, they may begin to recognize the comments & then minimize them on their own. If not, it's time for a one on one discussion.

Deadlines are given for a reason and it's a great idea to penalize students who don't respect deadlines.

Students expect a high level of professionalism, and experience in the field in order to create a reputation and base layer of spect with new students

Can be very frustrating. I is important to hear them out and really talk with them to see where they are coming from, and then to attempt to re engage them in the class.

In every class there will be 'tough' students. Sometimes I find reaching out to have a one on one session with the student to understand where he or she is coming from can be really helpful. Just giving the student that individual attention shows them that you care, and can go a long way.

Engaging your students is so important.your energy becomes their energy. Keep students motivated with a balance between group activities, demos and lectures.

One of the techniques for I like to use is the "group competion" testing their knowleg. giving each group a team leader resposable for their teams, making sure they are following rules and guidelines set by the instuctor. A game I call 'Let battle" How do you keep your student well motivated at all time?

In general terms, most students will respect the instructor who: 1. Respects them 2. Respects the classroom 3. Respects the subject matter they are involved in 4. Respects we are all human (well, most of us :)) 5. Rejects nonsense as concerns the subject matter 6. Cares about their students success 7. Respects the fact that the instructor is there to serve the students in a leadership capacity.

I have to say, that a couple of the test questions in module 3 are somewhat perplexing to me. Example ... Having angry students write down their complaints helps to ... while the correct answer was clarify the complaint .. the text specifically stated "the effort of writing down the concerns of the student often causes the student to dismiss the complaint and continue in the course ....." It seems to me that "eliminate the complaint" would be just as correct. There is another one, it was a question about a cheating student. The text refers to the fact students prone to cheating often try to cheat in foundational courses that deal with terminology and basic procedures. Consequently, one would assume they have "not prepared". This answer, also, is not correct. I sincerely hope the questions on the final are much clearer, and that the instructor of this course will reconsider these two questions for future students.
