Describe your rapport with students, based on this presentation.

I believe that the information was conveyed to appropriately help students navigate
the Blackboard classes that I teach. My hope is that students will feel that Im
approachable with any questions and wont be afraid to do so. Therefore, I hope my
rapport with students will be positive.

Based on this presentation, what do you consider to be your strengths as an

instructor?

Some of the strengths within the presentation was the ability to capture the screen
shots to walk students through each step and in what order the course should be
completed. Hopefully, students will be able to better understand how to navigate
the course by using the different screen shots. I hope that I conveyed caring as well
as approachability toward the class. It is my hope that students know that I am
very knowledgeable within the subject and view the class not only as a requirement
but as a positive learning experience. Psychology is important in all aspects of our
lives.

Based on this presentation, what do you consider to be your weaknesses as an

instructor?
I did say the wrong thing a couple of times but corrected the statement, such as
saying that instructions for the power points are in the syllabus but corrected it to
their research paper. I did stumble a few times as I gained the information that I
wanted to convey. Hopefully this allows students to know that I am human
