Problem solving takes time and thought. It allows you to write it out, discuss with others and then choose the solution and accept the results.

Judgement

In the thinking process, you cannot make a right and sound decision without having all of the facts and then weighing them out to make the best choice and that may require talking to others.

Critical Thinking

I love the fact that "common sense" was mentioned when talking about critical thinking. One thing that I have learned that common sense isn't so common, so encouraging someone to think through a problem or situation is helping them to develop critical thinking characteristics.

Instructor improvement

It's okay when you can learn something from your students. One of the things I say to my students is that even though I am the instructor, there are things I can learn from them.

Keep students informed

The information given to the student upon enrolling in a program regarding their financial obligation is important, because you inform them at the beginning (admissions/interview) of the program and upon completion (exit interview) of the program it's like a reminder as to their financial obligation.
