My Reflection Of A Trip To My Class

Good Essays

I hope each of you had the opportunity to witness my ability to teach adults the fundamentals of accounting during your visit to my class. For the last year and a half, it has been a pleasure to work as a full-time accounting instructor at East Los Angeles College (ELAC). I look forward on continuing to make a difference in the lives of my students by working with others and continuously searching for ways to improve how I teach students. Overall, I believe students learn the most if I summarize the information from the chapter and applying what they learned to complete exercises from the textbook.

After my presentation, I engage students further by asking them to work on exercises or problems from the book. In addition to reviewing the information from the book and guiding them through the questions and answers from the exercises, I enrich their academic experience by discussing current events, news articles, or videos related to the chapter. These teaching materials supplement my overall lecture and help students understand
