Using different learning styles to format your delivery of course content can make the course more interesting and encourage student participation.

Teaching in 10-15 minute blocks can enable students to absorb the important concepts better before moving on to the next topic.

Be creative with course content delivery to bring the content alive and to encourage student engagement.

Prepare early for your lecture delivery.

Help students to relate what they are learning to real world applications.

Provide students with important course information in a way that they can locate the same information again when they need it the most.

Help them to get to know the professor and each other.

Set the expectations for the course and encourage questions.

The importance of preparation cannot be emphasized enough!

Having a teaching plan for what to accomplish during each meeting is important.  Setting goals, and objectives, learning activities and other materials are necessary.  Having a clear syllabus about the design of the course and an outline of expectations of students for completing the course activities are necessary.

A good understanding of the textbook layout and whether the content is presented in a logical and clear manner.

An appropriate teaching environment for the type of material being taught.

Prepare early and mindfully to make your presentation easily understood.

I am enjoying the content and the reminders about how to better represent Casa Loma College and about setting good examples for my students.  Many great reminders!
