When I began teaching my current course, I was provided with no more than a couple of books (student editions) and a few power point presentations. On top of that, I am a brand new instructor! After making it through the course the first time, I realized there had to be a better way than what I started with. I dove into finding better ways to make the class more interesting for the students and myself. I gained a better understanding of the material and found some ways to make it not so dull. This research allowed me to create lesson plans to incorporate the new activities. This made the class much more enjoyable for the students and myself. I still continually look for new information and more interesting ways to present the material. When you started out in teaching, did you have a mentor or good information to work with? If not, how did you go about making it interesting?
