Comment on Tikeama Buckingham's post: I agree that it is important to be enthusiastic when teaching. Also, providing practical examples that are relatable. It is also necessary to provide feedback on tests and assignments as soon as possible.

Comment on Rose Elam's post: I am encouraged that loosing steam or motivation was brought up. Sometimes, you may think that you're the only one experiencing something. It will be important to find ways to rejuvenate and refocus as the class continues. I need to find ways to replenish my energy.

Comment on Daniel Reuther's post: I agree that this will be beneficial when engaging an adult learner. It could also promote student participation in the classroom setting and help students feel more comfortable in the classroom environment.
