Creating an Evaluation System, the one I use the most is the point system. Gives students a variety of different ways to be evaluated. Also they don’t have all their eggs in one basket. Evenly distributes the grades for fair evaluation.

The best part of Troubleshooting Instructional Strategies is understanding how to assess the different learning abilities of your class. Then develop your strategies and a way measure their effectiveness. This will help in understanding different techniques to class instructions.

This one seems to be the territory to the lower scoring segment of the student population. The ones that fear for thier grade. I agree that extra credit is for everyone and it needs to be administered to ensure the learning objectives are laid out and accomplished for each student. Hard exams are a good area to put extra credit questions as some may welcome the chance to net zero a few wrong answers.

I never thought of the pre-test method. This gives some really good information as to the direction the class may have to go, as well as it gives the student information on what they should already know in order to understand the content.

Now a days, students have a hard time going 5 minutes without looking at thier life on the phone. Modern delivery is needed these days as well as breaks that allow them to deal with whatever needs attention and bring them back to cover more material, until it is time to repeat the process

When you look back it is easy to see who were the prepared teachers and who were not in ones past. Another great comparison is the difference in what you learned in each situation

When teaching certain topics, I have on more than one occasion had to make an abrupt change of the lesson plan. In a communications class, I realized that the students were getting bored of repetition, and I had to borrow some material from another lesson to make the topic of the day a little bit more interesting. This worked for me and I have since done it again.

I think there is great value in having guest lecturers in your classroom! Invite a colleague (we have the ultrasound instructor give a lecture to our students during their diagnostic imaging course, and the cardiovascular instructor or advanced CV students teach EKGs, and the dental hygiene folks give a demo on dental rads) or local professional or former student or industry rep to give a guest lecture! Your students will get new perspectives, make connections in their field, see different options of jobs w/in their field and they enjoy the novelty of having somebody new speaking to them. Plus, you'll enjoy the vocal rest... :)

A rubric grading format is a great way to assess a students preformance in a clear and fair way.

A lesson plan is a great tool in the flow of a class period. It may not always follow the time scheme, but it keeps you on track.

I think that additional resources (current) are a great tool to engage students into learning outside of the text. I feel that students get caught up in thinking that their text is only resource that is available to them.

Students see instructors as though we know everything and we are always right. I let the students know when I am wrong, it's my way of saying that I am human too.

I try to deliver what I want the student to learn in a positive and learning way. In a way that the student will understand me. I try to make it as clear as possible.

I make it a priority to always be, first of all on time to class/clinic, and definitely being prepared.

Creating a test review help the students to be prepared.

I think that we need to use differents mthods for course delivery content.

I think that is very important to select instructional media for the class.

I allways organized my class and materials i advance that way all is prepared.

I would like to know everyone opinion on retake exams. Because I would like to issue re-takes and give the student a chance to improved their study skills.

What will be the best way to test a student skill level after they have been placed in your class? That way you can give the student the best chance of passing the subject.
