Making a to do list is very good idea so that before you leave for class room it helps to remind, what to take in class room and it gives a good impression to students.At the same time students must know their instructor. Last year I had a student she never knew what my name is, one day she was called be financial aid department. She was asked what classes she is taking, and what is your instructor name all she could tell them what I look like. It was very shocking. What happened here, I don't understand.

Clinical classes students seems to do better than any anatomy and physiology classes. Once you write on the board instruction, yes you are right steps should be in lots of steps. Students follow them easily

It is very important for teachers to be dress well. Students admire their teacher the way he/she look. For example I teach clinical classes and on first day class, we hand over students lab rule regulation, one of the clause in list indicates students hair should be tied back and they must have lab coat all the time. If teacher is not having a lab coat on, we cannot enforce student to follow lab regulations.

Yes we do provide students on first day of the class Syllabus, class rule regulations check list and course outline.Deadline of projects and module start date and ending date of class. I actually give my students day of four exams already. I don't know if I am doing right thing to give students in advance days of exams.

Yes, checking students mid progress is really helpful. This way students are reminded about their make up work or projects and what else they can add to bring their grades up.

Students acquire shot-term and long-term memory knowledge use it for testing. I really can not wait to apply this, because I realize exams I make half of the class feels comfortable and rest looks little confuse. So I believe I can bring Ah HA moments in my class rooms and motivate my students. Thanks a lot for this million dollar info.

Yes I am absolutely agreeing with you, but not all the students.Yes adult learners they have their mission, they understand whey are are the in school. They are serious and motivated to upgrade their life style.

I like the the idea of reinforcing students,but I feel it is still going to cause problem in the class. Because different kind of students comes to school.I understand human likes to be reinforce. please need your help.

These kind of students are just out to look for problem, basically they are not motivated and comes to school under the pressure of authorities. No matter what you do they continue this kind of behavior and will try to engage couple of more and make classroom fun house. If you report them they make it more harder. Please help me out.
