Getting feedback from students

One thing I have utilized when I was giving training seminars for Choice Hotels was that I liked to get feedback from the students(attendees) themselves. It helped me to understand the different learning curves that we as humans all have. Not everyone learns or understands the material at the same pace, so i strive to find methods that work for everyone or repeat the material in many ways so that everyone can get on board with it

Introduction to Manangement Class

I use case studies in my Introduction to Management class. Initially, the student are unfamiliar and uncomfortable with the case study way of learning. I explain to them that in my MBA program, this is how I learned. Then I explain that companies want people with critical and analytical thinking abilities. As time goes on, they adapt to learning throught case studies because we use Starbucks, McDonald's and Dunkin Donuts competing for coffee sales. They love this discussion and they become proud of themselves of the level of sharing and learning that they are contributing to the entire class.

I teach at a fast paced college that works in 6 week terms. I can teach up to 4 classes each term, and I often am in a different room for each class (while other instructors also use those same 4 rooms). How are some ways to accomplish similar results to the tips that are recommended in this lesson?

Gatekeeper

One of the things that I have always discussed with other educators is my view of myself as the gatekeeper to knowledge, rather than the teacher. Modern technology provides information virtually instantaneously, and thus an instructor cannot be the person who gives the knowledge to the student. They can, however, help to lead the student to where the information is, and how to apply that knowledge to everyday situations.
