What was our purpose and what did we do tonight?
Our purpose in session 10 was to follow its agenda: recall chapter 9, cover chapter 10 and finish up with all of the assigned presentations. In this session we went over some housekeeping with answering questions from students, then recalling chapter 9 and specifically going over interpersonal skills to be prepared for Sales Training presentation by Robert. Then the instructor started covering chapter 10 (Employee Counseling and Wellness Services) to have students present about this topic. There were 5 presentations (Employee Counseling, Employee Assistance Program, Stress Management Programs, Wellness Health Programs, and Work Life Balance).
What went well?
Students presenting were well prepared and came to class on time. They did their presentations within the time frame scheduled and we even finished the class earlier than expected which indicates that everything was going smoothly as planned. …show more content…
Luckily everything went fine and as planned although we had higher number of presenters than usual. Some students presented for less than what is required (15 minutes) which I believe was the reason behind finishing earlier with this number of presenters. So, I would say that if some of the presenters were to spend more time (around 15 minutes) this would affect negatively on the scheduled agenda and would causes delays on the assigned presentations.
What do we (instructor or students) need to improve?
First of all, students were not very participative during that session. For example, when the instructor asked about their opinions regarding the test and the extra sessions we have, they were silent and were not sure what to say. Also, when instructor commented on each presentation with asking questions to students, most of them were inactive and quit. So students should be more active during discussions by giving their full attention to what is being
