Indeed it is important for instructors to be a master at soft skills as well as the hard skills.  Does anyone experience that "good listening" is a needed part of soft skills on the parts of instructors and students?  How do other instructors manage students who are using cell phones during a teaching lesson?  Is respect a part of soft skills?

I have just completed the above course.  I found it to be informative, however, the practise quiz and the final test did not seem to coordiate to me.  Any others have a feedback on this course and assessment?

I learned alot from Course 106, especially working with ELL students.  There is indeed a baseline of info that must be taught/learned in each course.  At times, this can be a challenge to the learner if he/she has reading and reading comprehension issues.   I have found that it is also important to help the student to use his/her life story to motivate the others in the class.   I have developed a deep respect for students who can overcome.  The story of Eric, a blind student, who indeed was successful ( written about in course 106) is very humbling.
