Create a helpfull deadline of assignments for students.
The importance of ensuring we understand how to connect with stduents and to organize the learning experience.
I have learned the importance of going over the syllabus very clearly and implementing a clear late assignment policy. The university I teach out thankfully has a good late assignment policy that is very black and white. I also learned how important it is to ensure that students understand "What's in it for me?" so they are more invested in the course.
The importance of a good ice breaker & to be available/aware.
Get to know your students, students have different learning abilities. This is important.
Gave me helpful ideas on tailoring my class sylabus. It is a contract as well between student and teacher it shsould include everything
pertaining to the class grades, how to communicate with the instructor. There should be nothing left out.
I learned the importance of establishing expectations and sticking to them. How important it is to have rules and be consistent with the students.
Always act like a role model. Keep all expectations and repercussions available and written for all to see. Keep all expectations and repercussions fair and equal for all. Engauge students by answering questions with questions.
Syllabus is very important for students complaints and guidance
that the biggest motivator for students as they start a new course, is teamwork,
always be opened for your students.
I plan to revisit my syllabus and update my policy on late work. I also plan to revis the policy on resubmissions. I will lilkely ad an icebreaker exercise to new classes.
It is important to go over the syllabus on the first day of class. It gives clear expectations of the student and course!
I tend to second guess my deadlines as too harsh or unfair. I never questioned teachers when I had deadlines and am always surprised by excuses students give for missing a quiz or assignement.
The explanation regarding the 'Whats In It for Me' was very helpful. I find that students do like to get down to the "nitty gritty" and know exactly what they will get from the course and how we can help them exceed in their career field.
I love the iea of icebreakers-so valuable. I really liked the airplane one-never heard of that one before. Also very important to have clear guidance about late assignments and stick to it for all students
This course helps to understand the importance of having a Syllabus. To give students clear direction and understanding of their school course and expectations.
Student want to know what the exspectations are and that you will enforce them. If student find that you are inconsistent with the exspectations they will not respect the exspectiations

I loved the video regarding how it is my obligation to show students it's okay to share without expertise. Students tend to learn from how I relate the topics we are learning to my personal clinical experience, however I am going to also start to ask them if they have seen the disease we are learning about in their experiences. This will allow students to share and correct any misconceptions about what they have learned.

As a teacher, I need to make the student “sound better” by using phrases like, “do you mean this?” or “ it sounds like you’re contemplating this vs this?” then to expand on the topic, validate correct thought processes then expand on students experience and expertise in personal world view.
