I like the strategy of (Use it wisely cards approach ) to handle center stage student but I will give them apportunity to get more cards if they ask or make good comments.

Using them as a help with tuotoring is another good strategy I utilize to vent their energy. I give them the board marker to solve hard problems on the board.

I loved the idea of making a calender per module attached to syllabus highlight the deadlines for assignments and enforce requirements /expectations for each student.

I find myself doing both when communicating with anyone.

I have learned that there are many learning styles when teaching. Students may also learn with a combination of learning styles. My favorite saying is : You need to see it, say it, hear it and paractice it in oder to successfully learn.

Adult students are a completey different dynamic and must be treated accordingly, an adult student wants disciplined classes with good structure but not an instructor yelling and screaming.

I really enjoyed this class. I do feel your students will respect you more if they are disciplined appropriately. I also feel that with good management the students will be more focused as well.

I have known a situation that was demoralizing to my students.  A campus dean would walk to each class in session, coffee in hand, enter the classroom, look around to catch any student with coffee in a classroom, then return to her or his office to write a message to the instructor, threatening to terminate the instructor if another cup of coffee were to be seen in her or his classroom.  The students noted the cup of coffee in the dean's hand, and were more than a bit demoralized with such events.  Is this situation a question of faculty integrity, or is it a case of the right of the office? 

The best thing you can do is stay on top of grades. I tend to put off archiving grades, then it stacks up. Now I get it done the last day, and that leaves the first day of a new rotation for more class prep time. I also archive everything from that same day if I can, and if not, I get it done the first thing the next day. Don't let it stack up!

There is always room for growth and improvement of self. Often times we have to evaluated self to improve self.

what you do for students who are excllent in the class, yet they overwhelmed by reponsiblities on the job, and they have to come late, leave early, or no show sometimes? 

I found that, it is a good opportunity to sit with student, and talk to him about how serious this act is, and can refelect on his ife and character, and give a constructive advise, and offer your help, and that will build a great trust, and also will change in student attitude in a big way

I found that calling students by their name when you ask question, will be very effectife to attract their attention, and reduce the possiblity of being bored in the class, and they feel important

I founf that the best way to get student more involved, after assessing why he or she dosn't engage, is to make a time to sit with the student and tell him the benefit of getting involved and offer your help if they need

There are times that I make an error (sometimes on purpose and sometimes by mistake) when I am putting something on the board on there is a typo on a Power Point slide.  What I usually do is ask the students if they can find the mistake or typo (if I know that it is present) to bring about more class discussion.  Does anyone else use their mistakes as teaching moments?

I have had to ask students to leave the classroom because of their disruptions and have resolved the situations with talking with them during a scheduled appointment.  However, I have never dismissed a student from a course.  Has anyone ever had that bad of a disruptive student?

Within this course it was suggested that "Before you prepare new materials, you should search the Internet for publishers who offer textbooks that come with supporting materials and ask these publishers if you can review these materials."  This does not imply we purchase the materials and use them, it implies we ask if we can review their materials and then take ideas from them (plagerize them.)  This does not seem right nor do I think copywritten, published materials should be plagerized! This may not have been what the author of this course intended to suggest but that is how it was written. Am I wrong?

Group work can be an effective method to motivate students, encourage active learning, and develop key critical-thinking, communication, and decision-making skills

How can I engage a quiet student without embarrassing them?
