I am not in admissions, but I do believe that the more time one spends and and projects knowledge upon a prospective student the more success there will be for both sides

Modeling is a big part of having a great attitude

I find that I have a great attitude toward my job as Instructor, which reflects on my personality, therefore I am in a good mood when I get to work which also I think filters to the students. this make the day starting out very positive for both myself and the students

it is easy to forget that we don't know everything

the best way that I deal with this is to have open discussions with class and come up with the result as a class.

Conflicting Directions

one thing that on occasions has stressed me out is when Leadership gives me conflicting directions.generally this happens when you have more then one boss. quite often you then have to spend extra time to sort things out. this happens quite a bit in work places also.

making up tests

i will only allow students to make up tests if they are having a valid excuse for their absence. this will make them also more aware of how important it is to study and to be in class and be responsible for their own actions.kind of like it is in real life.

back up plan

I have to have a back up plan, not just because of materials used, but many times certain classes are way faster learners than others,and then you will need extra materials to keep the faster classes interested, or you will loose them.

learning

a good way of including all students in class of making sure they are learning is to periodically review with all students ( whole class) what everyone is or should be doing at that time

have your classroom ready

I see so many instructors coming in shortly bebore class starts, which makes me wonder how one can be ready for class. i for one like to be there at least one hour in advance, so i can prep for my leccture and demo. and yes , sometimes it will not take an hour to do so, but at least i feel comfortable and ready to start class
