common instructor mistake
1.Not well prepared: If we can't deliver properly in our class, we are losing trust our students
2. Humiliating students: We should not humiliate our students at any stage especially while dealing with challenging and angry students. Students come to our classes to learn knowledge and improve their skills so we should take responsibilities for their intellectual and academic growth in a professional environment.
3.Teacher student relationship: when we go to our classes we should not waste time in discussing our personal problems, it is personal experience that most of the student don't like it, and in addition it also decrease our rapport with students.
With regard to humiliating students; if I am ever having a problem with a student, I will calmly walk up to the student causing the problem and whisper to them to come talk to me outside. I find that if you tell them (loudly), in front of the class, to come see you outside they will take it as a threat and have an attitude about it. If you quietly whisper to them to come see you outside, they are generally very calm about it. Its all about giving and receiving respect.
Hi Muhammad,
Super list of common instructor mistakes. Preparation is key! All credibility is lost once students determine you are not prepared. Never call a student out in front of others. The student generally will bark back even louder. The teacher/student relationship should be strictly professional.
