Preparing Self for Class
Will be applying all new info.
Hi Margaret,
Glad to information was of help to you.
What are a couple of ways you see yourself using this information?

Dr. Meers,
I have learned in my ten years' teaching that a class is presented, conducted and runs very smoothly when the instructor is prepared. Students are expected to be prepared; and they will be the first ones to let you know if you aren't.
Again, we teach by example.
Walking through an assignment; making sure all of the technology is working properly; the projector is working--just to name a few items.
While there are days when I think I could "wing" the lesson, I want to be prepared in the best way possible for myself and my students.
This module revisited a very important stance I took when I first began teaching--never become complacent. When you think you know it all; have done it all; and, more importantly, can do it all without preparation, you are failing yourself and students.
Hi Barbara,
Well said! Well said! I'm sure your students benefit much from your experience and leadership. Keep up the good work.
Gary
