Since our students perform their internship on campus in our clinic, we have them provide weekly reflections on their patient and clinical experiences along with the challenges they met and how they handled these situations. We then give feedback and discuss options for handling these issues in the future. This seems to be very helpful for our students

Our students work in our clinic 2-3 days every week during their time with us. This helps us work on professionalism weekly and identify issues quickly. I feel like internships are very important and helpful in the same way. The benefit of going out into the workforce to obtain this real world experience, is that you get to see and hear from another person how your student is performing. The contacts made and the networking is invaluable as well!

Making a good rubric can make all of the difference in the success of my students on some of these assignments. The biggest challenge is getting students to utilize the references provided to them. I try to make the rubric so that if used correctly, the student cannot fail. There are always those that choose not to follow or use the rubric.

Comment on Angel Martinez's- Much of this information seems straight forward, however there are people that would stiil not feel confuden                                     

Asking for student feedback on the chosen assessment tools is a very important component to successful evaluation of a course. 

Over the past 13 years that I have been an instructor, I feel that my EQ has grown exponentially. I now exhibit a lot more grace and patience with my students and coworkers than I did in the beginning. This makes for a better rapport between myself and peers/students and I feel more in control and effective;)

Being able to interact with your peers is so important for a healthy work environment! 

It is always good to have multiple ways to evaluate the effectiveness of your online courses!

Providing meaningful feedback is imperative to the students learning and retention of the material being taught.

It is important to say what you mean and mean what you say! Have integrity as we are also teaching our students professionalism:) If we are unable to directly help our students then we can definitely assist them in getting with someone within our institution that can! Take the extra step to make a student feel seen and understood!
