Student Input

Sara, I agree. In most cases, student feedback is highly contextual. I tend to open-up discussions for feedback, during non-descript days in the course, in hopes of receiving feedback that is "emotion-free". Tremayne Simpson

Documenting Your Lesson Plans

Richard, Excellent point. Consistency is an often overlooked quality for establishing instructor credibility. It is important that students view their instructor as being consistent, so that they are aware of their expectations and are treated fairly. Tremayne Simpson

Time Management

Loretta, Great idea. Instructors should always have additional activities ready, just in case a discussion does not take the amount of time that it was scheduled for. Also, flexibility is a major component of effective time management. No class time should be wasted, due to lack of preparation. Tremayne Simpson

Robert, Excellent method for conducting a demonstration. Traditional, "stand and watch" demonstrations are not as engaging to the student, which could affect their retention of information. Tremayne Simpson
