Course Testimonials

I really enjoy teaching and all this info helps so much, it is very reassuring that my school is not the only one with sometimes difficult students.

I was very hesitant to take an online course because I am an auditory learner, but I found that this worked well. I actually found myself going back to the forums to see if there were any additional comments.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class. I printed out some of the information so I could go back and study it again. There was a wealth of information that was given that I certainly will be able to use.

I feel refreshed and ready for next quarter!!!

My job requires a lot of my time and I thank you for letting me extend this course. I am a vocational nursing program director, I teach, supervise other instructors and make sure all students in my program are successful. This course helps me in making sure all my students meet their needs. I would recommend this website to all my colleagues. Thank you, Anne

I have taught in a university for 19 years, and felt this was an excellent program! I thoroughly enjoyed the content and suggestions throughout the course.

I really enjoyed the content and material presented in this program. I believe that it is very beneficial to anyone teaching who has not had teacher training and even those who have.

This course is great for new instructors. The material provided will be very valuable to those entering the teaching field for the first time. I have been teaching for 20 years and I still walked away learning some new practices!

I really enjoyed this course. I love the fact that MaxKnowledge believes that learning needs to be interesting, energized and informative. I think that motivating students is the most important part of learning. Keeping even the most intense course fun is essential. It's easier to learn and retain information if it is presented in several different ways such as lecture, videos, games and sometimes pop quizzes to see if the information has been retained by the students. Life and learning should always be fun and energizing.

I really liked this course. It reminded me of the little things I do and also made me think of new ways to engage my students. Thank you

We are humans teaching other humans and this really acknowledged the realism in teacher-student relationships including the emotional aspects of learning and teaching. This benefits the students greatly as the teacher learns new ways to consider in supporting their students.

I found this course very informative as a new instructor. Over the course of my formal education I too noted the distinct differences between younger students and adult learners. The course presented the material in an easy to follow format that kept my attention.

Taking ED102 has been a rewarding process. I have discovered some basic tips for motivating, empowering, and retaining students. A big tip was learning about the need to REFOCUS so that I can recharge my battery thus maintaining students interest and focus in the class.

Excellent method of teaching. I particularly enjoy the Harvard videos.

After taking the course, I understand better what is meant by the flipped classroom and have ideas about where to try it!

I enjoyed the course. I see it as thoughtfully constructed and practical in content while being intellectually stimulating and enriching. Great course.

This course was very informative and educational. The speakers were excellent.

As a college instructor or middle school teacher, this course is a refresher and is something all teacher/program directors/instructors really need. I refocus, reminds, and re-enhance your growth as an educator.

I appreciate all the skills and strategies included in this module as they relate to my ability to teach my students, motivate them to work hard to complete the course work, and feel confident to apply their knowledge in the career field of their choice.

I enjoyed learning techniques to retain, motivate, and encourage students. As a new clinical instructor, I found this information very helpful and useful to apply in the clinical setting.

The course content provided relevant information necessary to retain and motivate students to remain focused on a course of study they have paid good money to attend. It also provided the opportunity to review how an instructor can identify if student motivation is lacking but to also recognize if an instructor's motivation is waning. My greater take away is that teachers/instructors and students have a tendency to feed off one another for the purpose of learning about one another to gain success.
