Knowing the learning styles of your students

Hi Amir- Welcome to ED 103! As you describe, our students should evolve in terms of their skills thoughout our classes until they finish our programs. As you mention, I think Capstone courses are very useful as they serve to summarize what the students have learned as a whole in the program. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career! Susan

Knowing the learning styles of your students

HI Katie - It seems so basic, but so many instructors don't try to identify the best way to teach their students. It will change from group to group , but bottom line - teaching to the learning styles of your students will pay off! Best wishes - Susan

HI Alexis- Thank you for your post to the forum! You do a great job of basing your assessments on what you have covered in class. May I ask why you use double negatives? Best wishes! Susan

Creating a positive learning environment

HI Anthony- Thanks for your post to the forum. I agree that there are times when the classroom environment is out of our hands. Then, as you say, it is up to the instructors to make the best of the situation for the sake of their students. A postive attitude is usually the best course! Best wishes- Susan
