Preparation

Faculty should be prepared. It's very disturbing when unprepared instructors enter the classroom. Think of the message being sent to the students.

Addressing students

Students should be addressed by there names. No one likes to be called by 'you'. I worked with a MD who didnt addressed employees by names until it was brought to his attention. Faculty should address these adults by name.

Cheating students

I do emphasize the importance of trust and respect in all classes. Students are reminded that honesty and respect are interrelated and one does not demand respct, one commands respect, and if trust is not there, then there is no respect.
