What I learned from this module is that I can be an expert in my field, but I don't need to tell the students this. My actions as an instructor should speak louder than my words. Also, it's important to be enthusiastic about what I am teaching because enthusiasm can be shared with my students. Enthusiasm will help create an environment of learning. Which brings me to another point, although I'm considered an expert in my field, I need to be aware that I can be incorrect. Something that I learned early on in my life, and substantiated by this course, is to have the ability to admit when I'm wrong. Confidence does not equal to arrogance, but we all can practice humility, which assists in establishing our humanity--and because we are human, we don't always get it right. This not only will allow me to be approachable to my students but also create a sphere of influence that leads to better learning for my students.
