Planning for the unexpected
There is a wide array of student backgrounds and learning styles. Proper planning and preparation allows me to explain course information smoothly and handle many surprises without losing my direction or composure.
Bryan,
As the learning leader you set the tone for the class and it is up to you to manage how it flows. Your point is a good one to make sure the class does not go off the rails.

I believe there is a time and place to have fun and I try to instill that in my class that way we do not get off topic.
Tanya,
A smile and a laugh go a long way in engaging students and helping to develop rapport with them.

I feel that the most important is the sense of humor. No to lose it- my goal.
