Traffic since to always be a problem in the city I teach. However, the students never seen to prepare for this situation everyday. I totally agree that the student must be accountable.
I learned about the different types of questions there are for student assessment. Multiple choice are more reliable and easily scored.
I have learned that you should plan your questions out and be prepared. You may have to ask a question in a different way to get students to understand. Questions should also be repeated and reinforced
It is necessary to use different teaching styles in each class session so that all types of learners are learning something each time. Realizing that there are different lecture styles was interesting as well.
Be prepared, keep notebook handy and always have a check list to stay on track
