I really enjoyed going through this module and looking at the concept of REFOCUS. It is so important to do this as instructors because teaching is a job. It can become stale and repetitive, like any job. It is important to recharge the batteries and have breaks from the materials and students. Some of the ideas that I have used in my current classes are reinforcing prior week’s materials with quiz to reinforce concepts. Focus on the material and stress the importance of the concepts in the overall learning objectives of the degree program each student. Having an open dialog with the students through discussion and sharing my professional experiences in the field helps students understand the importance of the concepts.
