I have had many students try to cheat in class and I will call them out of the room in my office hours and explain it was visible to me they were cheating. I have learned over time and years to separate students as well as scramble all paper quizzes and never let anyone talk or leave room during any of the quizzes or exams. We have cut down on homework per say as many were doing it all and others were not. I caught one whole class my first year in Medical Terminology making a word up for a fill in the blank question that doesn't even exist. I asked the whole class this question, "The first student that can find that word in the book gets a prize." Little did they know at first I had them on it and they all learned a quick lesson as to do their own work.

I find that some instructors are to personal with the students they don't know how to leave their personal life at home and also when a student starts complaining about something they let them sit there and keep complaining which only keep the student going. There is a time and place for that and it is not at school.

I have taught many students over the last few years and have run across some that are in the anger mode. I have learned to de-escalate the situation by calmly listening to them as well as making them feel like they matter. You never get angry with them I have learned in life not in teaching as it would only fuel the fire. I have also dealt with many students that are Veterans with issues of PTSD and TBI's and I feel I have handled them appropriately and they still come to me when they are having an off day. If me listening does not seem to handle the problem I will also talk to our DOE and make her aware of the situation and have them go and speak to her. With adult learners it is much different than children because they are adults and we must never judge for we do not know what may be going on in their life, therefore we must always listen and let them know we are understanding.

Each student is unique in there own way. I get to know each one and learn what will help them and then I apply that with the course being taught. Some students are hands on and some are taught by just reading the content, so I offer different ways to learn and apply that to them.

Knowing how to deal with identifiable stressors is the first step in having success in dealing with stress. Recognizing that sharing, getting enough sleep and exercise are excellent ways to deal and cope with stress. And once you have a routine in handling the stressors, you are on the road to healthy living.

In order to manage stress effectively; one must be honest with him/herself about the type of stress being experienced. The individual must be able to identify the type of stress, or get the necessary help in identifying the type of stress being experienced. Once the stressors are identified, then something can be done to work on those stressors and reduce stress significantly. I now have a wider understanding about stress, in that it can affect you short term and leads into long term effects.(Good Course.)

Time is very crucial for the instructor, and so, ways must be sought when making quizzes and tests. For example; when making quizzes and tests, software found at http://quizstar.4teachers.org can be used to effectively assist the instructor in saving time; thus getting more in a normal work day of teaching. Also, what would help is to collaborate with other instructors who have taught the course before and utilize materials that may pass on to you. And while teaching the course, you can modify to suit/tailor to your style of instructional delivery.

Prioritizing and recognize the urgency of a task will allow you to scale your time to meet the challenge of the task at hand. You will make sure enough time is carved out, so that the task can be done in a timely fashion as well as proficiently.

Just write the concerns that you have about work on a note pad so you can at least free it from your thoughts. As I warm up the car I look to free myself of work so before I leave the driveway my thoughts are on my personal thoughts and things that I need to accomplish on the way home.

It would be hard to move forward without respect within the classroom

The fundamental root cause for a students behavior can be deeply rooted to circumstances from their childhood.

As the dynamic of each class will be different so will the reponses of the students.

In order to be effective and maintain interest and dialogue, both participation and course content are equally important.

It's very important to be professional and follow the standard procedure when doing your job, regardless the type of professional field. As an Instructor, it is very important to be professional in a class and set a standard that students follows to acquire knowledge.

Maintaining professional image will be a role model for student and will set the tone.Class management will be easier and smooth.

If the student needs someone to talk to, you can but there is a time and a place.

Managing angry student by listening and trying to understand why the student is angry.

capturing student attention by engaging in group discussion, presentation with interesting examples

before a student can take a quiz, they must have completed there online training courses. there are always several students that show up on the day of the quiz without completing them. because the student is not eligible to take the quiz, I have them stand at the back of the room with me while I have the rest of the class take the quiz. hopefully, giving them time to think about what they are missing out on, and that there classmates are moving forward with the class without them.

I like the idea of smaller groups. Some of my classes are large and this will help manage them.
