I learned that there are the 4 types/styles of instructors. Also I was able to identify what kind of style I follow and what changes I need to make to improve my teaching style and provide the best teaching to the adult students.
Was helpful as a newer instructor.
many thanks for the review of guideline

This module made me think about areas where I am more of a buddy and less of a guide and how I can become more of a guide. I think when the semester begins, I am very much a guide, but as the semester goes on and I do build rapport, my role becomes more of a buddy. I think because the students feel more lax towards the end of the semester that is actually even more important for me to maintain the guide role and do not slip into the buddy role.
I learned the importance of being specific as opposed to general when it comes to greetings/farewells/wrap ups.
I learned that this takes a month
Excellent. This helps me understand and improve my teaching style. I always enjoy these types of lectures.
I can appreciate the way the management styles were broken down.
It makes it much easier to examine your own behavior when you have some concrete criteria to compare against.
Just have to keep in mind what practices are ineffective or harmful and which are productive and potentiate growth.
It was interesting course.
Comment on Michael Howe's post: Interesting course. Highly agree.
It was very good learning skill. I enjoyed having this class.
Great tips and trick for teaching!!
I am encouraged on this learning for the classroom
I truly feel more confident in myself after watching this video, "the Guide" is my personal approach to being the instructor I am always striving to be.
Classroom management is an important skill for an instructor to have. Proper classroom management can have a direct impact on learning in the classroom.
I plan to be a Guide in the classroom and this course has shown me the importance of setting expectations, providing specific feedback, and modeling the behaviors I want to see reflected by my students.
I think I already use the "guide" style. It's the perfect teaching strategy with adults. I can still teach them, guide them along the way and maintain a pleasant, friendly atmosphere in my classroom.
I have learned that my classroom management style is a guide. Not only do I set my expectations in the beginning and remind students throughout the term, but I also build a rapport with my students. Building a rapport lets students know that instructors are interested in their students individually.
