It is important to ask students what they know/what experiences they have had so that an instructor can build upon that foundation and make the content more meaning and relevant.

Good time management is essential; try preparing for the unexpected while maintaining class time. You have to keep all students engaged regardless of their skill level at the beginning.
It gave me ideas on how to expand my content of our LMS to include 2D and 3D Models illustrating various body systems for my anatomy class. Also, this section reinforced the importance of a good lesson plan, good time management and connecting to students.
Preparation for a lesson plan is essential. Taking the time to know your audience and assess their knowledge helps to focus on the content the students need to meet the objectives.

I am finding that I am in exactly these situations. Though they seem to be pointing out the issues with no real answers for the information.
I have learned that taking the time to write out an effective lesson plan can help drastically with staying on track and also help keep the students engaged. Also, by utilizing the pretests an instructor can gain a better understanding of what the students already know and avoid boring them. Doing research outside the textbook will also benefit the instructor to be as up to date as possible with information.

I've learned that gaging what my students already know is a key step in creating a lesson plan and while there are several ways to do this including ice breakers and questionnaires, A pre-test will be the best course of action for my subject.
I think getting the students to provide content that helped them will help the class overall in the long term. This is a good idea.
Good planning, a simple assessment test and a brief handout of personal info such as name hobbies current working enviornment etc... are tools I will be implementing.
The material should be able to enhance the knowledge of those who already have a solid knowledge base, as well as bring struggling students up to speed. Using a variety of material for presentations can help engagement.
Time management is essential for creating a lesson plan that works in the allotted time of the course.
in nursing, its assessment before implementation. assess student knowledge before blindly implementing your course
It is important to use many resources when planning your lessons. Pretests allow you to have an understanding of what students already know, what skills they have and what skills they need to learn.
