I have found through my 32 years of instruction experience that you must establish boundaries for the students. You must set high standards in order to challenge the students but also be flexible in the grading requirements.

ANGRY STUDENTS

I have found that if you let the student vent brfore class and/or on a break, it will go a long way in defusing the situation. I try to be understanding and offer my help

It is vitally important to keep your students informed about the course and to keep them motivated towards the end goal of graduation and employment within the field.

Evaluation

Evaluation of students is a very valuable tool if used correctly. A test should not be used as a negative to the student. It needs to be used as another learning tool.

Using questions as a measure of ability

This is somewhat invalid due to some students being introverts and not wanting the attention that answering a question will give them. The instructor needs to recognize this issue and takes steps to draw out these students.

Learning styles

The instructor needs to incorporate all of the learning styles in order to reach all students especially in the trades field. The instructor needs to draw in the students from different learning styles so that they become more proficient.

Instructor ethics

As a veteran instructor, 32 years, I realize ethics, integrity and honestly are our tools to gain the respect of our students. Without these present in our classes, we are not showing the proper way for our students
