Time Management

The importance of managing your time and prioritizing events will be a great stress reducer. It has for me. You can control your own time by adhering to a flexible but prioritized time schedule both in and out of the class room and out. I am a great advocate of efficient list or checklists. It really keeps me on tract and relatively stress free.

Soft v Hard skills

I am in total agreement that soft skills should dominate an instructors interaction within a classroom. The management of emotions, being an effective team player, common sense, and that positive attitude will increase your value as a instructor. I find no fault with the presentation.

Concepts of mature student motivation in a security learning invironment

This course, ED 109, was very instructional in my reevaluating student motivation and promoting active participation in a class room experience.

Mature learners are self-motivated for the most part, and seem to work very well independently without close supervision. They tend to have very high attendance rates, and come to class prepared.

Each ED course provides a unique opportunity to leanr new and tried techniques in class room learning.
