In the video, the teacher/professor has poor teaching and classroom management skills. The video starts off with the teacher discussing about the learning module without addressing the classroom issue or introducing to the topic. It is important for a teacher to address key issues in the classroom that not only affect the entire learning objective but also despairs students from attending or paying attention in class (Gaberson, Oermann, & Shellenbarger 2015). As a teacher, I would first inform my class students to keep away all cell phones, music players, and other electronic devices away. It is important to make aware the students that the use of electronics is not only prohibited but also affects students who seek to learn and understand the program. Talking and performing activities that distract people also has a negative impact on the entire classroom wherein the teacher should address the issue prior to introducing the topic. It is advised that all students settle down prior to the commencement of the learning module (Billings & Halstead 2012). The second key issue is the poor presentation skills of the teacher. The teacher is advised to introduce students to the topic rather than starting off with the topic. The colour scheme and font size of all slides were poor. A teacher should use a plain background with sober or light tone colours for each student. A presentation slide should not contain a summary of important points. The teacher should also change her voice rather than using a dull and monotonous voice/method of teaching (Gaberson, Oermann, & Shellenbarger 2015). Teachers are advised to be energetic and have direct communication with their students while teaching. Engage students during the presentation. Asking questions at intervals while waiting for students to process each question and answer appropriately is highly recommended (Billings & Halstead 2012). Lastly, the teacher should have a logical approach towards student/classroom management. Instead of addressing the issue of the student being late at class, she can address the same in private. In the case of rude behaviour, the teacher is advised to be proactive rather than aggressive (Gaberson, Oermann, & Shellenbarger 2015).
