This course was helpful to me regarding student retention. Didn't realize that as faculty it is up to us encourage and motivate adult learners to succeed. I was the type of student that motivated myself and never depended on instructors to motivate me but really opened my eyes.

As a new faculty/instructor, what were some of your challenges and fears that other new instructors can learn from?

This module taught to not act smart because someone in the class maybe smarter than I am. It is important to know the content when teach so that the student can get the message that is needed. It is important for an instructor to find their style of teaching and feel comfortable on how they're presenting the message. The style of teaching refelects on the students understanding so always ensure thate the students are understanding the message. Reevaluation of the teaching style maybe needed if students are not understanding the contents.
