Student in center of attention. This type of student just needs to be included in all discussion topics. Also student needs to participate in group topics, labs, hands on training. The more he/she interacts, the better they will be in the outside world of making a living...

Talking to students about your own experiance and carreer, could motivate them to see their future carreer opportunities.

Having a wide variety of learning activities, lab activities, helps students want to learn, want to succeed.

Some of my students are constantly chatting in class. If they disturb me or others, I put a stop to it. Because they are in the back of the room in a large class, sometimes their behavior goes unnoticed by me. Their classmates often 'shhh' them or otherwise reprimand them on their own. Is it ok for me to let students regulate themselves like this, or will it cause animosity and other problems between them later on?

Very well presented class. I have a better understanding on which routes to use if I have a disruptive student.

The thrust of the videos is that it is less than desirable to be a Controller, a Buddy or an Apathete. One of our classes last quarter was less successful, and there are some clues here to find out why. Could my students perceive me as a Controller, Buddy and Apathete all in the same evening? Of course, I've always strived to be a Guide. One of the twelve students on the roll had a reputation. My failure to respond properly when she arrived late, stumbled in and conducted her own conversation led to the lack of respect and failure of others. Opportunities for all of the other eleven to share their ideas were lost. My goal is to have another quarter when all of our students not only pass some tests but perform the skills they need in their individual careers.

The interaction between the instructor and the adult student learner is very important to the students success. Being that the adult learner, is generally, older and has life experience's to reference. The younger learner, who does not have these experience's, may be more challenging to reach.

Ove the years ?I have learned to handle student situations a little different. For example bullying of students by another student. I incorporated a video on lateral and horizontal bullying with students.

I like to incorporate real life scenarios into the lecture. This helps the students to see that the nursing profession is a very serious profession. It hink the textbook is great but incorporating the real lie scenarios will assist the student in becoming successful.

I always refer to my experiences from industry I have been working for many years. Those experiences cannot be learned from book, and they are good motivation for students to learn their subjects.

Sometimes it is difficult set-up my mind as instructor from been a designer at my own studio. I tend to treat my students as my employers. So, I come to school at least one and half earlier that actual class time and start mental preparation to be an instructor. That way , I would make less careless mistakes.

I have student who thinks he knows everything taught in class and keeps intrupting the lecture. Finally, after 104 course, I know how to deal with her. I asked her if she wants to take extra challenging work as an extra credit, so she was happy and classroom continued on without intruption.

After this course, it was very helpful to make everystudent opens up in firstday of classroom.

I had 1 assignment for our class, it was about making an OSHA Guideline Manual. The students worked in groups. 1 specific group so grossly plagiarized, we are talking every page almost in its entirety, that I was stupefied. I had no idea how to handle this. I spoke with several other instructors and then with the department head. In all honesty I did not think they did it to plagiarize, I think they really had no idea how to NOT plagiarize. Although I had given them numerous opportunities to discuss their assignments, this group never utilized those opportunities. School policy mandated dismissal. I could NOT bring myself to doing that, knowing this was an inadvertent case and completely unintentional. So instead I chose to grade their assignment accordingly, based on the rubric. They received a 37 out of 200. It was appalling. However, I did clarify to them upon assignment review, the options were limited. Course dismissal or grade accordingly, which would they have preferred? They understood my stance and were appreciative. It was heart-wrenching none the less. My favorite., however, was the young lady that chose to slide her cell phone onto her lap while taking the final exam. She sat in the very last row, and I saw her, from my seat up in the front, scrolling. Mentally I was going through the "are you kidding me" and "you have got to be out of your mind" statements. I very nonchalantly walked the room, eventually ending in the back of the classroom leaning against the windows. While there, she slowly slid the phone off of her lap back onto a chair beside her, ALL of which I was privy to witness. Without disturbing the remainder of the class, I quietly walked over to her and whispered in her ear "I saw what you did and you know I did. You can consider this a failure for your final" and I walked back up to my desk. A few minutes later she came up and handed in her exam, saying nothing to me. I proceeded to document the entire situation and observation and handed it in to my department chair, who then documented it in the school files. I was completely amazed by her, more in shock than anything. And this was my first class I had ever taught. Has anyone else faced a situation like this? How was it handled? Do you think I handle;ed either or both of situations appropriately or do you have suggestions for what I should have done differently?

im going to incorporate exercise to deal with stress

after reading and taking the assessment I can identify with most of my stressors

I found this article helpful for time management

Teaching these students with strong personalities can and is such a challenge sometimes. When a person like that is in my class, I see the other students change their behavior as well and I try to redirect my attention away from the strong personality and create and environment that encourages everyone to have a chance to speak or demonstrate. Sometimes they can get a little too outspoken and then I have to "talk them down" a little. It is definitely a challenge at times

I believe every semester, you will find one or two students who are angry with financial aid or other outside issue, which will bring their frustration and disturbances to the class. The biggest issue of class interruption is cell phone usage and text messaging. when they are asked to stop they get irritated.Sometime very abusive, and makes it very difficult to continue the class.
