I agree also, that the most important thing to concentrate on is organization, and projecting that to your students.
After five and a half years of teaching, I have done as most of us will, found what works and honed it to the point that most classes are a great experience not only for me, but for my students. If the student feels you lack in organizational skills, even though you may have a great deal of practical/hands-on experience, they may lose some of their confidence in your ability’s.
I set clear expectations early in the course, enforce the rules fairly and equally, and find most students respect and enjoy their time in a well managed class.
