A top takeaway for me was the section about prpepaing students to receive feedback and how to respond to potential negative feedback (ask for traning resources) 

I am going to use the idea of "pre-planning" for a week the next tme I see a student struggling wth their schedule or time managment - 

During Part 1 of this course I was reminded of many little details - while also learned a few new ideas. 

The many reminders provide dme with an example as to how we do need to review material - and how we soetimes abosrb it n different ways or we might make a new connections with it. 

The video speakers were succint and prvided the information at a nice pace  - warm yet so professional. 

And as usual, the Max Knowledge qaulity was here with breaking up the material into chunks and providing transcripts to go with each video. The… >>>

Two top takeaways from the course so far were:

1) Keeping track of what we do and then going back over our porcess to see what can be improved. We cannot fix what we do not know - and so keepign track of that helps us see lttile things that we might nnot realize are time wasters or tme hlpeers. This is even more imprtant for events that are repeated, like the fund raier mentioned in one of the videos 

2) The reminders for time maagment stratgeies and to help stduents more - like with reminding them to think about… >>>

Great tips here and it is always important to remember that some stduents are overhwlemed during the first class and while going over the syllabus and course objectives - policies and suggested flow of classes, i try to look out for those that seem overhwlemed or might misundertand the points. For example, once when I mentioned that we needed to follow APA formatting on all papers - and mentned to try and not use ambiguous terms - one student replied that he felt like he was being censored. I then exp,ained why we use APA formatting (so we are all… >>>

Great reminders about remebering that every student is different and they also have different seasons in their life and so it is just important to check in on what they need at a gven time.  Also, if you had a student before they might have differents needs this term.

Allowing students to vent helps everyone communicate better and also allows the student to be heard.  This can have many good outcomes :) 

The tip for making notecaards to place on stduents desks was so helpful. I do this for large classes - write the student name and then place the card in front of the student. Usually by the end of the first class I have their name memorized :) 

I have learned so much abut the research that supports adding games and simulations to the course to help stduents.

Also, I am curious to see how the intercative assessments advance in the coming years - as well as the

physical measures (ie EEG, GSR, and EMG feedback) - technology is amazing and it will be nice to use it more and more to engage learners 

A top takeaway from tis section had to do with finding the blance in randomization of content -

too little and the players lose interest and too much and we could lose the student and have no relaible info for discussion
