I enjoyed this instructor’s perspective.

I was impressed by Mr. Williams understanding that a student’s goal is to gain substantial employment and as an instructor his role is to create a clear path for the student to obtain his or her career goals. The Motivation Statement at the end is very good way to begin the instruction – it creates a buy in for the student. Learned a good deal from the presentation.

This presentation was very informative. I am currently working on writing Student Learning Outcomes. Mapping is a vital part of successful SLO implementation.
