I was a statue instructor when I started teaching 8 years ago. I also rarely strayed from my lecture notes and often used notes prepared by a textbook's author. My students did not like either method of teaching. I forced myself to move around and engage the students. I learned to write and rewrite test questions so I could avoid test banks and multiple-choice questions. I find that now that I know myself better I can better focus on content delivery in a more meaningful and engaging manner so that my students are more successful in their careers. Tests are more than assessments now. They are also tools for instructing and learning. In order to engage the many different types of students I have, I cannot be a pigeon magnet. And now I find teaching both more student-centered and more enjoyable for my students and me.
