I really like the statments how active learning benifit adult students. From my experince this type of learning truly benefit both the instuctor and the students .
I like to frequently ask questions and facilitate discussions in the classroom. This helps me to know if students are grasping the concepts and information. In addition, by giving them case studies to practice applying the information helps to develop critical thinking.
Active learning is more enjoyable especially if you are incorporating various learning styles. It gives students some control over their learning.
It is important for instructors to stay on task.

Active learning is useful when you establish objectives
Active learning is very useful as long as the instructor takes the time to set up the goals for each lesson
Students are more engaged because they are getting some control over the learning process
Active learning is important for students as it keeps them engaged and present. This module was helpful in thinking of implementation.
I like the idea of starting slowly and implementing more and more as we go. This will be new to me but I have done some active learning activities in the past that have been very helpful and do not require hi cost of items.
an example for me of active learning was to cover the primal cuts of Beef, Veal, Pork and lamb. By dividing my students into groups I had each group draw the animal, name the primals,subrimals and give percentages of body weight. Then describe what the primals could be used for in cooking. Students have always loved this
There are multiple considerations when engaging students in active learning.
I enjoy combining lecture with discussion and role play. It's not only engaging and fun for the students, but also for me.
It is ok to use your own ideas for active learning and do not be afraid of what other instructors may say.
I enjoy active learning and always try to implement this in class.
The lesson identified barriers and challenges to implementing active learning activitiesin but it also provided solutions.
There will always be barries to delivering course content. Continued gowing and gaining experience will provide more knowledge to be prepared if/when these barriers occur and how to react to them, and sometimes even be proactive to prevent them from happening in the first place.
I have acquired a lot of new knowlege when it comes to active learnig I want my students to succeed in their learning activies and critical thinking. The more I am aware of my of teaching style the better I can engage my students to an active learning and more successful environment
Active learning is necessary for adult learners. Instructors should continual be aware of barriers fot effective learning activities.
