I learned that it is very important to be very percise when explaining things to our students, especially making sure things are said the right way because certain things should not be said. This allows the student clear understanding and we can assure that we are providing the most accurate information possible.

Also, that you explain things to students in the correct way so that they have the correct idea and expectations of what to get out of their classes and what to expect in the field they work in.
