Short topics

In my accounting class students like to learn one thing and then get it down so that we can build on it in the future.

Field Trips

I think that field trips are an excellent way to get students involved. It lets them see the "real world" and how things are outside of the classroom.

Planning

I think this all goes back to how important planning is. If I am not prepared as the instrutor the whole class is thrown off and nothing runs smooth.

Introductions

I love meeting a class for the first time! I love coming up with new activities to get to know everyone. One game that I like is having students come up with two questions and then having students draw them and answer them.

Planning is Important

Planning for me is so important. I love to have something new and fresh for the students. I love having them find and discuss current events, I feel this gets everyone's brain working.

First Time Instructor

I am a first time instructor and I have been trying to come into my own style. Each class that I have taught has allowed me to learn different learning styles and then decide different approaches.
