It is important for an instructor to by a facilitator and learner in the classroom. Practicing positive responses to questions and distracting behaviors can help control the classroom environment.  

I believe all types of testing are still relevant to student learning. Where we need to understand how our student will develop the knowledge to answer questions and the methods, we can use to reinforce the information. 

Using multiple media platforms and an open discussion or class format can engage student to practice the lesson material in real time and help them reattain the information. 

I have had several teachers in my past classes that utilized MMC techniques in their lesson plans. I found it to be informational, and I like the others students' creative answers to the material questions. 

Dynamic learning uses multiple tools other than teacher to student lecture model. Instructor or teachers can use different media to create a interactive learning environment for their students. 

I prefer to keep my students motivated by showing them how the class material relates to their personal goals and expectations. 

Learning to refocus during the semester is a way to reengage your students and energize yourself. 

It is important to engage your students and understand their motivation for taking your class. This will help you understand how to best teach them the material. 

We are there to provide the opportunity to acquire the skills, competencies, and work habits needed for a successful career. Treating the classroom/laboratory as a simulated work site where students adhere to the "real world" requirements will help them acquire the discipline needed for positive career growth. In addition, the students will see that not only must they acquire technical skill sets, but they must also have social or "soft" skills to be successful in their chosen field. You are using their intrinsic needs as a learning pathway.

Practicing your lecture techniques and review lab work after class is important to building rapport with your students.
