My understanding of adult learners
I have already increased my own knowlegde for how I will approach some of the adult learners in my courses moving forward.
Although most Adult learners come in with the fear of not "keeping up" with the younger crowd. They tend to stay focus and are very determine to follow through on all their requirements
It seems the adult learners are usually more attentive and hard working because they are there for a specific reason. They tend to be class leaders. I like to make these adult learner leaders feel as such.
It was important--and still is--for me to remember that younger students, or those completely new to higher education, may be influenced by their own fear and may demonstrate more insecure behaviors because of it.
