About me

I am currently an online adjunct professor  in Billing and Coding and Medical Administrtive  programs. I have worked within the
education sector for over 10 years and have held positions such as:
School Director, Associate Director of Education, Program Manager for
Allied Health Sciences and Education Chairperson. My passion for
teaching is what drives me to encourage and promote education for many
years to come.

Interests

shopping and being a mom

Activity

I do games (i.e., jeopardy) alot. This tends to keep all learners enthused and participating in class.

Frank, I absolutely agree. Even my daughter's high school teachers state the kids don't have critical thinking skills due to "I want it now" decade.  The internet has somewhat cripled our kids,  I think.

Discussion Comment
I find that students prefer to take multiple choice tests and they are not very efficient in short answer. In the medical field there is alot of memorization so short answer tends to be quite cumbersome.
Discussion Comment
I find that quizzes work best for me when I evaluate students. It gives me a guideline of what information I need to go over and gives me a gauge of what other teaching methods I may need to use.

I find that alot of students are extremely shy and reserved. I try to incorporate group activities to encourage participation as much as possible. Currently, I'm in an online environment, so discussions work very well.
I find I enjoy teaching kinesthetic learners. I am one as well so it was quite challenging for me to find creative ways to connect to auditory and visual learners. My classroom was always very interactive. Did anyone have this issue as well, initially, as an instructor?

Do the student's feel as though you are "calling them out"? Are they receptive to this practice?

I often like to bring in guest speakers who provide "working lunches". This provided some sense of how the workforce operates and what is required on the job.

I find that adult learners are more focused and care more about their grades. They constantly want feedback and ways to improve their learning skills. What experiences have you had?
