A typed cleaning list is a good way to keep kitchns/classrooms clean. It also teaches delegation

In this module one of the comments addressed how you might spend time preparing every detail of a lecture and it not working out anywhere near the time you plan. I think it mentioned that you might plan something to last 20 minutes and in delivery, it takes five. I often find the exact opposite happening. I plan for those 15-20 minutes of lecture in order to give out information and it turns into 30-40 minutes of actual class time. Sometimes students have questions or engage in discussion and other times I just take much longer than planned. I do not know that this is always a bad thing but that part of the module stuck with me, as it is the opposite of what I experience.

I truely believe that these two things are very important when managing your classroom. It means hardwork in inevitable.

Prioritize with a blackberry schedule reminder. It is qiuck and easy to do.

This area was very interesting to me. It has been very hard for me to understand the rationale behind adult cheaters but now I understand that with cheaters, cheating has been an ongoing thing throughout their lives and it is not something they have just started. So the instructor is not there to change the bahavior but to show them that the rationale behind it is not worthy of the action.

I find that this area is somewhat difficult for me at times. This section really assisted me with the ideas given and the thoughts and rationale behind them. I will begin to implement this new information in my classes immediately.:)

I believe that getting to know your students from the beginning of the class is very immportant. I give each student a survey that asks questions about how they learn and how they like to learn. After going over all of them I present to the class my findings and explain how the class will be structured. I believe that this creates an atomosphere that is more individualized to the class itself (each semester).

When I know a student just cheated on a test, when the other students go on a break I call that student to my desk and talk to them about their study habits. I tell them I think they can do better if they find more time to study, then I have them take the test again

This makes sure you get what needs to be done completed.

Sometimes one students behavior can change the whole classes behavior.

Sometimes just saying good job can motivate the student.

Make sure the student understands how to achieve a high grade, and what can lower thier grade.

When there is a talkative student in my class, when I am giving a lecture or asking for class participation, I just walk over by that student and stand there for a few seconds; then I walk around the whole class so it did not look I intentionally pick that student out.

The things that I cannot control are the things that give me the most stress

Stress has allows you to focused on helping you to understand your unique strengths and weaknesses in the way you manage stress.

Students remember better when they have to write than what they hear and/or see on paper/books.

I believe that we all control everything in our lives and how we manage our time .It took me years finally figure out my own system but it is really true .

I think that it is important to have a stress free life because stress can be detrimental to our health. We must have some kind of plan in place to help us cope with daily stress. Stress can be a factor in every area of our lives so therefore we must take control of stress before it take control of us.

What do you do about stress from feeling like you are being micromanaged about every aspect of your course? Being watched all of the time stresses me especially when the people watching all of the time make mistakes and tell you that you are not doing something correctly and you really are, or tell you that you are not doing something that they did not tell you that you needed to do.

Even though I know what I'm looking for, I allways get the students to participate on decisions making...
