Instructors who try and controll every facet of the classroom will have a different time with the adult and younger students. Good Rapport is a key to success as an Instructor. 

Effective class management is very important. The instructor who is viewed as helpful by the students will have a better classroom dynamic. I try to greet each student before every class and let them know I am available after class if they have any questions regarding the materail. 

The outlines that come with each module and at the beginning of the course I found to be very useful. It is important to follow thie outlines as I find it very useful with the information. 

I thought this course was excellent. It gave some great tips on student retention and the ability to help the students. I learned many inportant tips from the course. 

It is very important not to embarras students or put them on the spot if they dont understand. I make a strong effort to 

bring all students into the discussion and will try and speak with a student after class if I feel they dont understand the material. 

I agree completely. Showing relevance to the material is extremely important for the students. They become very interested when they see how the material covered is relevant to their career goals. 

I constantly try a variety of methods to bring the students into the class discussion. Self assements especially when the are anonymous I have found to be very useful in the classroom dynamic. I ofent use the assessments for class discussion as I do not have the students put their names on their assessments. This also adds variety to the class and creates a new way to present the material. 

Self assessments are useful for the students and the Instructors. I often try and assess the class and the Instrction I am giving to the students to try and improve on my Instruction methods. I will often try to change the method of instruction from traditional lecture to group activity to interactive teams. The students especially enjoy it when the material is presented in a different format.
