This course taught me how to deal with difficult students.  It gave me the knowledge to handle these issues effectively and keep the class on track.

It is important to explain your skills and experience to students so that they will be confident in you teaching them. It also, gives them a future outlook on what is available to them.
It is important to address the issue of cheating at the beginning of class to set the expectation of the consequences.
Many of our younger students tend to spend more time outside of class or doing things that do not pertain to the class. It is important to recognize these students and talk to them about what they need to have their full attention.
As an instructor, it is up to us to recognize that each and every student may have a different learning style. It is our responsibility to teach using styles that can reach the full audience in order for our students to succeed.

In every area of our lives, critical thinking skills are necessary to identify possible situations that can result in a negative way if not handled properly.  What are some issues you have been faced with where critical thinking was necessary?  How do you assist your students in applying critical thinking skills?
