Alexandra, This is such a great way to look at instructional preparation and delivery. By reviewing both types of instructors you have had in your past you are able to select the methods that you feel would work best with your students and then plan activities around those methods. You are right it is a continuous process because I am still doing it for each of my classes and I have taught for many years. What I find fun about this is that I get excited planning new things to do in my courses and my excitement spreads to my students as well. Also, this keeps me fresh and lets me bring my passion for my field to the students. Has this been your experience as well? Gary Gary Meers, Ed.D.
