Open and closed discussions during the lectures is a very good opportunity to get the class involved with the subject at hand, and is a tool that can be used to include participation of students that are not involving themselves in the discussion. Very helpful.

analytical thinking

I believe that critical and analytical thinking is very effective in the learning enviroment, individuals can apply analytical thinking skills when tasks or projects are presented to them and they are to decide what approach they should take to complete the challenge. It is a way of thinking that I feel any instructor to should have their students apply.

assesments

An assesment is an effective way to determine if a individual retained information that was presented to him during a lecture. I find it to be very helpful to determine what students may need additional help or tutoring to get them up to par. This was very helpful information.

projects

To implement a project in a topic being taught may be helpful, sometimes to learn a subject at hand involves kinesthetic learning and I feel it to be very effective.

kinesthetic learning

I have found that when I interact my students with the topic that the daily lecture is going to be on they take the most from it. Kinesthetic learning is very effective with most of my students and they seem to retain info. better that way as well.

dynamic learning

I believe dynamic learning is an essential part to the learning and teaching experience for that matter, it allows diffrent points of views to be brought up and disccussed during a lecture, learned alot from it.

pretesting

pretesting has been fairly succesful for me to evaluate the students and see what the weaknesses are and concentrate on them with certain students

diffrent learners

by observing the type of diffrent learners you have in the class you can figure out what kind of strategies to use while teaching, whether its kinesthetic or visual and so on.
