Hello Everyone!
I have learned that many professors in higher education have become too comfortable. I still lecture my students from all over the class, and incorporate activities and learning games to solidify the material covered. I will strive to be the professor at the door waiting for them to walk in!
I have learned that to demonstrate professionalism I need to be punctual, well-groomed, and fully prepared by mastering all the content, and leading by example to keep students engaged, motivated, and contected.
