Oral & Written Communication:
- I encourage students to write and express their own opinions via class forums and blackboard collaborate sessions.
- I like to encourage my students to think outside the box and challenge students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
- Personally, I love interacting with students and to me this is what provides students with a positive learning experience this can be achieved by face-to-face meetings (if students live in Rockhampton) or via Skype or other means.
Other qualities:
- As a lecturer, I do believe we should be building hope and optimism through our courses as this encourages our students to strive for better grades but also you are encouraging the student to have a vision for their future. After all, this is why students put themselves through university.
- It is hard to build grit and resilience in students today - particularly with the younger generation of students. They seem to give up very easily. I like learners to know that I am providing them with the opportunity to turn their failures as opportunities to grow.
- Self-regulation: again this goes with the above point. Some students say that there work load too much and it is always a challenge to turn that students thinking around so that they reflect on how to complete their obligations of their coursework. I always find it interesting when students say I don't know what it is like and then I explain my workload and the subjects that I am studying. I find it is about getting people to work smarter and more efficient.
