The importance of keeping the students engaged and interested in the course content through illustrations and case studies can enhance learning. I enjoyed the aspect of the human factor and the importance of getting to know your students backgrounds and goals.
It is very important to create a positive environment for students. Buidling a good rapport will help to make students feel comfortable.

Importance of creating a comfortable learning enviorment. Developing student rapport and addressing each student by name aids in increasing self respect for the students. always be engauging and listen to student concerns.

give frequent early positive feedback to students. They need that support.
Getting to know students and sharing of background experiences helps nontraditional students to find their place in the class. Being a positive influence and providing ongoing support can help students remained focused on their career goals.
Both children and adults respond well to positive reinforcement. By acknowledging a student's accomplishments, a professor can help adult students feel more confident in their learning. Additionally, by outlining expectations at the beginning, students can draft a plan for success that can be reinforced by the professor. Treating students like individuals, celebrating their successes, and building rapport can help improve retention.
I learned students need physical comfort, security, acceptance and self-respect. It is importnat to know students names and greet them. This establishes rapport and respect. Setting realistic goals increases competency and xpectations. Daily reinforcement and recognition of a job well done by the student will increase student achievement and in turn student satisfaction.
Greeting the students by name helps build rapport and allows the instructor to give positive and constructive feedback. Also, it gives students the confidence to engage in the learning process.
Adult learners are both motivated and intimidated. Tying class material to concrete professional goals and providing a supportive, comfortable, responsive environment are both vital to student retention.
I think it is important to utilize the human factor in any classroom, but especially in those with adult learners. This helps learners to feel less stressed about acheiving a certain grade by themselves and they are more willing to utilize the teacher as a resource.
