I have recently stepped in to a new management position at my job. It has been challenging to go from the roll of peer to "boss". Part of the struggle I've faced is communicating effectively and appropriately with my employers. For instance, some employers are more sensitive than others but issue still need to be addressed. This course has really given me some tips to help work around these issues.

Student involvement in the classroom is so important today. With all of the technology and information readily available through the internet and other means, students want information and stimulation quickly. Therefore, some things I've done in the classroom to encourage involvement includes simulation exercises with critical thinking case studies, lectures delivered by the students, online debates (which help save time), etc.
