A great pointer is that when a student is struggling and also complaining, it is important to acknowledge their struggles and help them find a solution, however staying professional as an instructor and not get stuck in the complaint with the student.

Higher learning institutions require to accommodate students with disabilities, under section 504 and ADA. A student with disibilities would include anyone who has a physical or mental impairment that affects 1 or more life activities.

By over preparing for your class, it may help ease anxiety by having a back up plan if you feel you are forgetting something. Students want to feel that the instructor knows their stuff so it will also help the students feel confident in their instructor, if the instructor stays ahead of the game!

If a student has become too disruptive to the class and affecting lectures and other students' learning, then as an instructor it is okay to make the hard but right choice to remove the disruptive student from the class.

Really great tips on how to target education styles to different student personalities!

Students become motivated about starting a new course when they see that their course requirements are being personalized to their future careers. 

As an instructor we must not be intimidated of trying out the different learning assessments, but we must also make sure that we choose assessments that correlate to what we are teaching the students.

It is important for students to learn and understand "soft skills" so that they are able to be secure in their future positions in any career.

Avoiding asking broad questions is key. You want to engage in open ended questions to allow students to not be afraid of asking questions.

I learned that having a variety of teaching styles will help each student better understand the course if I offer different ways of learning the subject.
