Renee, This is a typical example of how a student feels frustrated and intimidated by their instructor. I am curious as to how you responded? Cindy Bryant

Nancy, Many times we fail to see that we are role models for our students. They have entered college to pursue a career in a field that we have already mastered and they look up to us as examples of where that field can take them. If we are less than professional then they assume that the field does not require professionalism. If we are less than cheerful then they assume the field has not treated us well and this is how they may turn out as well. We must always assume that we are being watched. Cindy Bryant

Gabriel, You stand in an excellent position to advise your students on the importance of attending their exit interviews and repaying their student loans. Cindy Bryant

Daniel, The USDOE iniated the Program Integrity rules to mandate at atmosphere of transparency and honesty. The goal was to protect the consumer and to assist the colleges in raising their metrics such as; completion and graduation rates, cohort default rates, etc. Cindy Bryant

Colleen, Thank you for giving your students such great advice. In the health care field integrity, safety and patient first must always be at the forefront in the caregivers mind. Cindy Bryant

Janel, Knowing employees well leads to a healthy work culture. Having employees train together and work in teams creates a positive synergy. When employees know each other well, they seldom fight and criticize fellow workers. Cindy Bryant

Sydnee, Seldom do we discuss pre-requisites however the sequence of courses are very important to the overall success of the program itself. If a student happens to inadvertently miss a pre-requisite course or take it out of sequence their entire graduation is at risk, not only the student's graduation but the program and possibly the college. The course sequence is approved by the state and accrediting agency and any deviation from the approved sequence is considered to be "out of compliance." Cindy Bryant

Sydnee, Great point! Generalization would be considered unintentional misrepresentation regardless it carries the same penalty as intentional misrepresentation. It always best to quote your disclosures in this type of situation. Cindy Bryant

Diane, Professionalism and ethical behavior in the workplace can benefit your career and improve your working environment.

Be conscious of how you treat co-workers and your workplace attitude and you can improve your productivity and effectiveness. Cindy Bryant
