One takeaway from this module that I believe will help me in the classroom is understanding that no matter the mistake that is made, you have to dwell on it. Being aware of commonly made mistakes will help us, new instructors, avoid making them. Another takeaway that will help me is showing my students that I'm here to empower them, not defeat them. I want to ensure that my student's first impression is that of support, not power. I clearly outline outcomes and objectives with a clear understanding of deadlines. Still, I also let them know that if they are having difficulty understanding the content or struggling with the delivery, I will help them and work through it. I will not do it for them and often won't even extend the deadline, but I will have the conversation needed to help them complete the assignment or class.
