This course was very beneficial to me as a new teacher. It reminds us that there is no such thing as being over prepared and that we can be creative in planning our lessons. This will help to keep students engaged. Using various resources will also help students to retain the information.

I found this course to be very informative to me as well. It was helpful as a reminder that we can incorporate different teaching styles to keep our students engaged. Using our resources will help lesson planning to be more effective and exciting for the students.

I agree, as a new Instructor. This course was very beneficial. I feel more comfortable selecting my method of delivery and knowing what things to avoid such as mistakes.

My plan is to apply the skills I have learned from this course. I will spend time clarifying the syllabus and addendum to avoid any confusion. It will be uploaded for the students access. I will also strive to involve every student with interactive assignments. Paying close attention to the different personalities will help me know my students better and know how to reach them. I will strive to know them personally by remembering their names and at least one thing about each individual. I will strive to become an Instructional Delivery Expert by keeping my knowledge and skills up… >>>

This course was very helpful to me as a new instructor. It has given me more confidence in taking control of my class.
