Great Course!

Just like the other courses, this is a good refresher course. It validates that the things that I have been practicing in class are good teaching strategies.

What's Out There

Besides sharing our own experiences, inviting speakers over to give inspirational talks about their professional experiences, struggles, successful stories, etc. to students helps reinforce what we instructors tell them inside the classroom. Real-life stories not only inspire students, they also instill in them that although grades are important, they are not the only thing that they need. Softskills and attitude toward work are also a must.

becoming a good intructor

I agree. I don't find satisfaction in being told I'm a nice instructor because I am also a good instructor.

A good instructor does not do her job only for the paycheck. She is passionate about teaching and compassionate with her students. She herself coould not stop learning and improving so she gets better in her profession. I'd say I am both good and nice, but I prefer that my students like me for the right reason--they learn from me and I make a difference in their lives.
