Supporting the learning styles of your students

Hi Kimberly,- Thanks for your post to the forum. I also work for a for profit college and my students are also primarily adult. I feel that my students have higher expectations than do most 18-21 year old students and so agree that we need to really come up with innovative activities that will challenge them. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Susan Polick

Using CATs as sources of instructor and student feedback

Hi Khalid, Thanks for your post to the forum. I especially like that you use a quiz at the end of every class. Open book or not - it gives you valuable information that you can use for the next class. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Susan Polick

Creating a positive learning environment

Hi Shannon, Thanks for your posts to the forum. As an aging "technophobe", I also spend lots of extra time making my older (and sometimes younger) students more comfortable with technology! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Susan Polick

Using CATs as sources of instructor and student feedback

Hi Dan, Thanks for your post to the forum. Essential to demonstrating an instructor's interest is that we give feedback directly related to the CATs and implement whatever suggestions that are reasonable. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Susan Polick
