Common mistakes.

"A strategy for avoiding repeating some of the above mistakes is to make notes about how a lecture, demonstration, or activity worked for you." This is an strategy that I always implement in my class and it does help me.

Minute papers are excellent alternative to review discussed material for that day and also great for inattentive students. For sure I am implementing this activity in future classes. 

The syllabus is the most important handout given during the first class meeting. Students become motivated when they personalize the course content to their career goals. 

I do understand and agree that “I want to know what my students have learned during my class and now what did they learned the night before as they were preparing for my class.”

The topics in this presentation are a review of the content learned while preparing for my post-graduate education.

Instructors must have 3 roles: model, manager, and motivator. We must be professional and follow these roles in order to be excellent educators. Educators must be competent in 3 areas as well: technical, professional, personal competent. It is important to have an instructional style and have a professional development plan.
