College Professors - The "Good" , The "Bad", and the "Under Improvement" - Top Ten Ways to Impress Your College Professor (Psychology Today)

Readers,

I admit, I am the professor who is "under construction". I am always on the lookout for new teaching techniques and tips to help my online and face-to-face students learn the course content. I am one of the only professors in my department who constantly checks out books in the library and via interlibrary loan to learn about new teaching methods to incorporate in my classroom.

This week is dedicated to a few teaching topics that are focused on GOOD TEACHING from various perspectives. The following video is definitely not an example of "good teaching":
