I feel I don't have enough support at home to sustain the stress at work at times. I am attempting new strategies to aid in this matter. wish me luck

exactly same worries i encountered when i joined here as an instructor.Hope i took this class before i joined here,

Well mention about syllabus in this course.Discussion and outlining of syllabus is very important to keep student intrestiing throughout of MOD.

You can learn what techniques work best within a classroom from the feedback and attitudes of your students. Students can help you understand if you are fully relating to them by their body language and their overall feel of your delivery. Sometimes you can look at them and they may have a smile on their face while you are talking or they may be leaning in to fully listen. This is when you know you are making a connection and that is a good day of class instruction.

i loved this statement. and well mention about as instructor how to handle class to get respect from students

This is my first term as an instructor. Some feedback I got is that the students think I am too nice. Some even say I have favorites. This is not the case, however, I do find it easier to call on students who are known for participating and I think that creates a perception. I am always working on this.

One of the hardest mistakes for me as a new instructor not to make, is to remain at an instructor level and not become too close to my students. I have always wanted people to like me, I am a pleaser.Students are not always happy with me, thats the way it is.

It is important to move about the room, as I have learned. Students have too many distractions (cell phones, computers) It is important to make your presence known so students will remain involved and motivated to stay on task. This is also a great way to provide one on one time when needed as well as point out positive things going on in the room

This is a lesson that I will refer back to as I have challenges everyday! It is scary in todays world, dealing with angry students as you are never sure how far they may take things

I feel that having a clear syllabus for your students and taking the time to go through the syllabus with each class is of utmost importance. This way you can assure that all of your students have recieved a copy of this info and heard the info verbally. we can also entertain any questions or clarifications that students may have at this time

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.
