I am a new instructor so this module really hit home for me. I have already begun to take notes as to what can be done next time. I made some rooky mistakes already but have made note on what they were and have begun the process of making sure not to commit these "sins" again.

Allowing cheating

I once heard an instructor say that if a student wants to cheat, then let him. The student only hurts themselves in the long run. I find this statement hard to digest because in preparing students for taking a registry exam, a teacher should want them to not rely on cheating and want to focus their energy on learning material.

Students with healthcare backgrounds in a patient care class

I currently have a few students who already work in the patient care setting. I find it difficult to engage them when it is about topics they are already familiar with. However, I do get more of a response when the material is more program-specific. Any thoughts on engaging them during the material they know?

Online syllabus

Has anyone only put the syllabus on the courses website in hybrid class? Currently, I use an online system to post assignments, study guides, and grades. I have also begun putting the syllabus on the main page for quick reference. Does anyone think I should also hand out a physical copy?
