When i first come into a class, i look and listen to get the "feel" of the class before i set my standards for the class. I inform the students of the general rules, and wait to see reactions, before i carry on. I also let the students know what is expected of them on the first day, so if they have any problems they can let me know right away.

Retention

Retention through memory is very hard. I try and explain to students that memorizing answers just for the sake of "test" is invalid. Learn the material thoroughly before memorizing. Learn it to where you can explain your answers in your own words to where it makes sense. This way you are learning it for future use,and not just for the present test.

learning

I think as far as learning goes, it is important to realize everyone is different. It is important to see that instructors need to do their part in accomodating in general.So be available for the students in case of any problems, but the teaching should be understandable to all.

Learning

I think the more interactive a class is, the more exciting it can be. It is important to realize that some of these students are physically, emotionally tired as they come to class. So instead of having a class with a lot of sensory interaction, i try to incorporate verbal interaction. This will enable students to voice their opinions and be interactive.

Experience

Using the experiences i get in the field, i try and incorporate it in the classroom. The more, a student can try and imagine "real life situations" the more they will be excited about learning

common mistakes

common mistakes by instructors are they get too comfortable with the students, and become too friendly to them. That interferes with them trying to keep their perspective straight.
