Common Instructor Mistakes

I would like to share in the discussion one of a common mistake that I experienced with one my instructors while being a student. I had an instructor who did not cover the weekly course material she only sat at her desk reading a book until a student would have a question. I thought the instructor was not focus and disengaged in the class. Majority of the class would always leave the classroom at fifteen-minutes before the class ended and the instructor never said anything about the early dismal. This was my last course in the program and I was very much so eager to be done with the class.

Hi Charolette,
Wow, this is so unfair to the student. It sounds as though no teaching took place, and the students suffer from this. It is simple, if you do not want to teach, find another profession. Our students need to be taught, and we need to help our students stay/get excited.

Hi Patrica,
I am not sure why you have made such a statement like this "if you do not want to teach, find another profession." I haven't written anything in the discussion thread for you to make such derogatory statement toward my writings. I only expressed what I have experienced from past teachers or the learning modules.

Hi Charolette,
Nothing towards you. Just a general statement of those who are not wanting to teach should find something else. It sounds like you enjoy what you do, and you do it well, keep up the great work!
