I am a human being and I will let my class know that I will not always know the answer. If I don't know the answer I look it up and I am honest with the class. Better to learn it right then make up something or go around it.

Any ideas on how to evaluate a students' progress at the end of a course? Is the final exam sufficient?

How do you handle a student who monopolizes the class with questions and answers?

Please give advice on how to set up a lecture in a criminal justice course that address all of the learning styles?

We suspect a student to have a learning disability who has not asked for help. Since we are not allowed to offer help without the student asking for it, what else can we do?

In the System Support program which involves troubleshooting and troubleshooting being an important part of each course we begun using simulators in the lab. We have not used a simulator for testing but I am thinking about using it for the first time in assessment of the course.

At my institution I am conducting the assessment report for each of the courses in the computer science program. When I was first introduced to it, my question was “What is assessment?” I knew about homework, quizzes, exams, etc. and that at the end you’ll perform a summary to obtain a grade. Now I know that assessment is the design of a test that it is supposed to measure and tell if the objectives of the class are being met. This is the main reason why I am taking this on-line course. The third module did help me understand more about the class assessment.

Make the classroom fun so the students will want to come to class everyday. Give them incentives to want to come to school everyday.Remind them how important all of this will be when they are out in the field working. An employer will not put up with them if they are not motivated or doesn't want to come to class/work everyday. The student needs to treat school like a job.

I've only taught this class once before and I learn best in lectures, as I'm not big on group projects or discussion. My ol' introvert coming out! But I want to have a more active learning environment. I don't usually have a problem garnering discussion, but I think even a change in the classroom layout may be in order...

Everyday I learn something new with my students

After teaching a term I got to know what type of styles my students took for learning and studying. I am one of those people that I have to write down things. Take notes. I had one classmate that would just lean back in his chair and just take it all in. Now I know there are people that can just listen BUT when they take tests and fail them then I need to talk to them about there style of learning.

When you are introducing a controversial subject that you know will cause strong reactions among many in the class, what are some of the techniques that you have used to diffuse tension before it begins.

I learned some key things I will for sure bring to the classroom

I do find the students fare a little better when they have clear expectations of the instructor

The way I approach Excellerated learing is to be approachable and to be interested in the information the I have to offer as well as the questions that the students ask.

I feel like I am having a difficult time reaching the majority of my students. Do I feel they like me yes but that sad boring look on their face that I see when I look at them drives me crazy

I thought this course was very informative. However it seems at my institution because of the wide range of various age groups that we teach; its hard to teach in a manner that all or most benefit from Rashanda

by asking questions you can gauge how well your students are understanding the material you are covering. if, all the questions are answered correctly you can either move in new material or make your questions a little harder or more detailed so you better challege them.

I am not the type of instructor to lecture all the time. I see some instructors do that but I feel you lose interest in the students. You need to find ways into keeping them interested.

Some of the instructors I worked with don't do lesson plans. I didn't understand at first on why to do them because I never taught before. When I got my first class then I realized why lesson plans need to be done. Being prepared is very very important.
