Having a high emotional intelligence is good for both your own overall health, and for working in a people focused environment.

Having good people skills is a necessary thing when working in a workplace environment. You need to have a good attitude, be attentive, and have empathy. Above all, be sure to utilize common sense.

Adults have different learning styles, usually shaped by their past educational experiences. Learning your students best methods will help you as an instructor reach/teach them best.

Right vs left brain, or different parts of the brain being responsible for different thinking processes and abilities, is an interesting concept. I'd be interested in reading more about multiple intelligences, and will further my education on this section of learning styles in my personal time.

Adult learners like to have a say in what/how they learn. 

While I believe the idea that a person may only be successful within their age group based on the given set of standards Havighurst suggests to be outdated, I appreciated seeing the model and his point of view.

The majority of adult learners begin their new set of studies due to a major life event; i.e. marriage, new job. 

Guide on the side, not sage on the stage. Bring your personal experiences to the classroom to teach from your own wealth of knowledge. 

Technology can be a great addition to your lectures. It is meant to supplement, not replace.

This part of the course went over the different learning styles of the major generations. It is useful information to have, as it gives me an insight into other ways to teach different generations. This will assist me in making sure my lectures are informative and accessible to all of my potential students.
