<p>I have learned some very interesting things so far. I like the "what's in it for me?" idea. It will take extra time on my part to incorporate this into each class. I understand the importance of the syllabus, but I like the comment of uses boxes and color and font to draw attention to important points. I like the paper airplane exercise to use at the beginning of the year. I loved the Harvard instructors' comments about how she gets someone talking and directs them and continues until they feel like they are smart and encouraged to speak even when they do not all of the answers. I would love to be able to do that in my classes. The man from Harvard also gave excellent points that I have not heard before. I want to emphasize the difference between expectations and rules.</p>
