As an instructor, I have noticed that when I am teaching a student they come up with a question that I hadn't thought of, this forces me to seek out the answer, which in turn leads me to learn something as well as the student.

Things that are hlpful for me

I try to include humor in my presentations, it does seem to break the ice. Moving around the room, eye contact, engaging the students and asking different students questions seems to make my presentations go smoothly. Most of the time.

questioning in the night class

I use a lot of questions in my class mostly to keep them involved. I have a night class and by asking a lot of questions they stay "TUNED IN" they never know when i might call on them.

managing yourself

I have students that very in age group from 18 to 60. I have to be careful not to loose my temper or my patience, some of the more mature students can test your patience more than the younger students. I believe i have a good rapport with all of my students. The key for me is patience ,that keeps me from losing my temper.

night students

Most of my students work during the day and come to school at night, they are tired and worn out. I try to keep them motivated by keeping the class a fun place to learn, i ask alot of questions keeping them alert. I also have alot of hands on training to keep them busy and awake.

timing your presentation

I found that the only way to get your timing down is by doing the presentation over and over again, fine tuning it so to speak.

I have had some students who just don't get it. I sit down with them and explain it in different ways and you can see by the look on their face when they get it. The Light comes on"
