It is important to take into consideration the different learning styles when preparting a Lesson Plan.  We must be award of the student's attention span and keep the lecture/information to short brief sessions 10-15 minutes to maintain the focus of the student.  Implementing different methods of teaching is more effective than the traditional Power Point lecture.   

The first day of class is very important in setting the pace for the term.  Learning the students names and introductions are very vital to make the student feel comfortable in class.   

Outlining the expectations and getting to know the students in the beginning of a course is important for success.  The preparation before the course in having all you supplies and lesson plans will provide structure and consistency for the class.  Organization is key to success. 

Lead by example and always remember to be supportive and motivate your students.  Serve as a role model by always being professional in your behavior and response to the students.  

The information on advertising and marketing was very relevant.  I also found the information on the military and veterans to be very important.  The state regulation for each state was very helpful.    

Honesty in programs is very important because students should not be misled.  Information from the Catalog should be reinforced espcially about class size and job placement when they graduate.

This information is very relevant and important, especially learning more information on the "Do not Call List" and the penalty.  It is important to follow the rulese and regulations for all institutions.    

I learned the importance of using a rubrics for grading subjective assessment.  The rubrics provides feedback for the students and evaluation to improve the course.  

I learned the importance of using different types of assessment including subjective and objective.  The objective assessment is the method most commonly used for true/false test questions and multiple choice questions.  The subjective assessment is difficult to grade without a rubrics and must be given exact parameters.  I have used primarily objective assessment and Norm-references assessment.

I learned about the differences between Assessment and Evaluation as well as Summative and Formative.  There were great ideas about "Muddiest Point" and "One minute paper" for evaluating if the students are learning and if anything needs to clarified in the lecture.
