Testimonials:

I have been encouraged by this course. It touched on many aspects of my experience.



I have used some of the things presented in this course and I feel it has made me a better instructor.



The course covered the material in adequate depth and the knowledge gained will be useful in my career. Thank you.



I have been teaching for almost 7 years and am considered an excellent instructor (95% or better rating) and this course included several points that I am definitely incorporating into my course design. Thank you very much.



I found this to be a very valuable course. Classroom management is key to the effectiveness and success of an instructor!!!



Very informative and helpful.



Absolutely fabulous! I felt like I was challenged and learned important information that I can effectively implement in the classroom.



As a new intsructor I related to much in this course. I developed new ideas and took notes in areas that were especially applicable. Thank you for a job well done.



This course was very beneficial to my understanding of psychology of students who attend Career Colleges. It helped me to understand that my previous communication methods to deal with challenging students were not as effective as I had expected to be. I learned new techniques/methods as to how I should be dealing/communicating with angry students as well as students who are not motivated to learn.



The course was excellent. The course provided tips and strategies that every instructor should try to implement into their learning plan.



Course was delivered very well. It followed the practices of good teaching methods in: anticipatory set (setting the stage for the subject matter), clear objectives, well-structured format, checking for understanding often, providing for a summative evaluation, and surveying the students as to the effective of the course.



I thought this course was one of the most valuable I have taken thus far. Being a public shool teacher also, this was a great refresher. I plan to re-apply a few of these concepts that I seemed to have overlooked after several years of teaching.



Being fairly new to teaching, this course helped me a lot in understanding how to relate to the students.



Very, very helpful! I am quite positive that what I just learned from the course will help me deal with very difficult or challenging students more effectively.



Great for new instructors and as a refresher for seasoned instructors.



This material was helpful.It was helpful to see some of the other instructors comments.



This information was very helpful, and gave me good ideas about how to do some things differently next term. I know content and lots of pedagogy, but this addressed practical issues. Thanks very much for the opportunity to learn!



Great Course! I love watching the Harvard Business School Videos!!!



The topics in this course are great for new instructors, even experienced ones because it helps us to remember how to handle situations and how staying prepared is crutial.
