I believe that when an instructor spends valuable class time to talk about his/her personal problems he/she is being unprofessional & losing sight of why the students are here for.

dealing with challenging students

I believe it is very important to keep everything documented when dealing with a challenging student because it may support/help the instructor in case of a â€œconflictâ€

dealing with unfocused students

In my opinion when an instructor â€œspells outâ€ what is expected and required of students at the beginning of the class it reinforces his/her expectations for the class as a whole.

setting the stage for success

I really think that having a written note for late or missing assignments on a syllabus shows that the instructor is â€œseriousâ€ about the courseâ€™s work & its content.

dealing with stress

I believe everyone deals with stress differently but one thing I think is very important in dealing with it is to not let stressfull situation "stew". I feel they should be dealt with as soon as they arise therefore creating a positive environment.

Time & testing

When I look at testing & timing, I feel it is important to use different methods of evaluating because it not only helps me assess the "students more accurately" but also plays a direct role on time management.

to do lists

I am a believer that creating "to do lists" and reviewing them on regular basis is an important aspect of managing one's time. I feel it helps me manage the class more effectively because I can prioritize and organize my students learning needs within given deadlines.

Creating Effective Assessments

In my opinion, effective assessments are pillars in what we do to assess comprehension and understanding. Not only it can help “check” students’ progression but also can reflect on how the information was presented.

Student Learning Assessment

Learning assessments are good tools to assess the learning progress of a class; therefore great care should be used to develop their content and reliability.
