In order to be successful in this class I would suggest just being able to pay attention and attending Dona Greene zoom meeting I believe they are important to understand the assignment better. If I take this class again I would definitely pay more attention and take noted from every assignment. You can do it! Great professor and great class

2022-12-17 01:54:19 UTC

What I think students should know in order to be successful in this class is to pay attention to what you're reading and take notes. Joining the zooms is also helpful to get a better understanding of the assignments.

2022-12-17 02:07:22 UTC

I would suggest for students to throughly read the instructions and remember to cite where you are getting your information! If I had to change something I would have taken more notes! I personally was docked a lot of points because I kept forgetting to cite my sources!

2022-12-17 03:03:44 UTC

In order to be successful in this class is citing your work , making sure you are up to date with your assignments , and be consistent with your assignments don’t push them off till later . What I would do differently is making sure I attended the zoom meeting so I could have more information and i feel like that would’ve helped me more .

To be successful in the class. I would watch all of the zoom meetings as the information is important. I would also say to turn the big assignments in early so if changes need to be made you can give yourself time to make the changes for a better grade. Do all the assignments and you should not have a problem. I would go back and fix my assignments and do all assignments assigned.

2022-12-17 04:04:52 UTC

I would say the main thing is to keep up with assignments. Some feel like a lot, but if you give yourself enough time to get it done, it is not too bad. Do the reading, and you will be fine. If I could do something differently, it would be to give myself enough time to complete the assignments. And most importantly, complete the significant assignments because they impact your grade a lot.

2022-12-17 05:01:16 UTC

1) Don't fall too far behind. The missing assignments will get to you.
2) Organize due dates and work accordingly. Have a physical to-do list of your assignments not only for this class but all of them. For me it was mostly out of sight, out of mind for my homework. Sometimes I would forget I had assignments due that night and had to cram and stay up. Not fun!
3) Ask questions! Professor Greene is willing to help where she can. All you have to do is ask.
If I were to retake this course, my priority would be to stay on track with my assignments, especially the more time consuming ones, which usually are worth more points. I would have liked to turn in assignments a day before the due date, not hours prior.

2022-12-17 05:45:37 UTC

Definitely make sure you pay attention to the due dates, and the instructions to all the assignments are very self explanatory. Professor Greene, is always very helpful for any questions you may have, and will always do her best to help you succeed.

Tips

2024-03-17 23:45:01 UTC

Do not wait till the last minute to do assignments. I did for a couple, and it was anxiety filled. Be mindful that the work is more than a full 16 week course.

While doing the readings, make sure to take note of anything you would like to cite. Trying to find the one thought you liked was time consuming. This class is amazing and the Professor is awesome. You learn so much.

Tips to be successful:

2024-03-19 18:18:49 UTC

Stay Organized: Keep track of assignments, due dates, and any additional materials provided by the instructor. Utilize tools like planners or digital calendars to manage your schedule effectively.
Manage Your Time Wisely: Allocate sufficient time for studying, completing assignments, and reviewing course materials. Avoid procrastination and create a study schedule.

Overall, staying organized, actively engaged, and seeking help when needed are crucial aspects of success in any course.

Time Management
Although most of the assignments require reading and your input, it can get time-consuming. If you want to turn in valuable work to Professor Greene, start your work ahead of time before the due date.
I learned the hard way by staying up and rushing assignments. Since I only focused on completing the assignment, I most likely missed some valuable information!
Attend Office Hours or Watch the Recordings
Professor Greene explains the assignments thoroughly so if you have any confusion, the recordings can be helpful.

2024-03-19 23:17:01 UTC

To be successful in this class you need to learn how to properly manage your time and avoid procrastinating. If you fall behind it can be hard to catch up. Watching the zoom recordings can also be extremely helpful because they are very informational. What I would do differently is better manage my time.

One Crucial tip to be successful in this class is time management. Majority of us are mothers or peoples with jobs and so time is really limited and staying on top and prioritizing classes and staying ahead is absolute KEY.

Take advantage of office hours if you ever need clarification or find yourself struggling and don't hesitate to check in with Professor Greene. She is SO helpful and WANTS to see you succeed!

Although late work might be accepted, try not to make it a habit or at the very least don't let it happen too often as sometimes an extra week can fly by faster than the original week and your grade will reflect it.

Set reminders throughout your week and/or post the calender to your personal calendar to stay up to speed!

Suggestions to next sem educator

2024-03-22 04:51:20 UTC

1 suggestion is having a heart of passion and curiosity to learn. Childhood education learning is also a path that discover yourself. Online learning can be fun if we think about what we learn and reflect on it. I would also recommend doing practical teaching at childcare center or taking any open opportunity that really helps me understand principles and practices better.

Advice

arieleva142 — 2024-03-22 23:01:23 UTC

This class provides so much information. In my opinion, I loved the topics for each assignment and learned so much from them. I would advise you always to be prepared with the readings and assignments. Make sure you stay organized with assignment due dates and the readings. I liked copying and pasting information I thought was helpful into a word page to return to later when doing the assignments. Other than that, have fun with the assignments and take it one day at a time.

Advice

2024-03-23 00:16:05 UTC

Taking notes is necessary because this course provides vital information for our field and demonstrates the best practices for supporting children in a high-quality classroom. Save all the work and links Professor Greene provides because they are helpful for future assignments. One thing I would do differently is participate in more assigned discussions because they can provide different perspectives and clarification on the subject.

Advice

2024-03-23 02:27:17 UTC

I think something I wish I could've done a lot differently was manage my time correctly, but also speak to a counselor a lot sooner than I have. Remember to be mindful of where your headspace in and to take breaks, but also communicate with the professor if need be. You never know what's going to come up, so it is important to ensure you establish communication with your teachers.

Advice

2024-03-23 04:49:09 UTC

Not just in this class but in all of them: make sure know how to properly cite your sources. There are plenty of citation generators online that can help you. As for this class, make sure you read the rubric carefully of any assignment and watch the ZOOM meetings!

Words of Encouragement and Some Tips

2024-03-23 05:00:08 UTC

This class was a joy to take! If I were to give some tips, my first would be to refer to Professor Greene for any problems or questions you may have. She’s incredibly helpful and flexible when it comes to late assignments and due dates as well. However, it’s also good to remember to be consistent with completing course work. If you’re taking an accelerated course, especially, creating a schedule and splitting the work within the week can really help with not falling behind. By doing so, I was able to be caught up with all the assignments while also being able to read all the articles/texts that were given for each week. Finally, I think having passion and an interest for what this course offers is an important thing to have to. It makes learning even more enjoyable and also helps with keeping your attention directed at what is needed to be done. This is how it worked for me at least.

I learned so much from this class and feel I understand what I should aspire to be like when it comes to teaching children. You can do this!

Advice

2024-03-23 05:48:09 UTC

The best way to succeed in this class is by doing two simple things that most forget. One is to turn things in on time. The other is to always cite your sources. By doing these things you will succeed in this class.

To be successful in this class is to prepare to time manage the workload and do the readings. I took this course in 8 weeks it was fast pace and it was a bit hard trying to manage it, but worth it! There are opportunities to turn in late assignments, but don’t overuse it. I would do differently if I took this course would probably just reach out more to the professor on certain assignments that I have concerns or questions about.

2024-03-23 06:11:35 UTC

You got this!

2024-07-25 21:27:06 UTC

As you start this journey in early childhood education, keep an open mind about the various career paths you can explore. There are so many rewarding ways to make a positive impact on children's lives. You might enter the course with a specific idea of what you want to do, but don't be surprised if you find yourself drawn to a different area as you learn more.

If I could go back and change one thing, I would engage more with my peers in the weekly discussions. Connecting with classmates can provide valuable insights and support, enhancing your learning experience. I think this will be more feasible during a regular semester, as summer school courses often feel rushed with the condensed schedule.

Make sure to download and save all your reading materials; they'll be valuable resources down the road. Also, if you don't have a resume yet, now's a great time to create one. Think about how your current skills can be applied to teaching and include them. Best of luck, and here's to an exciting and fulfilling journey in early childhood education!

Your Journey Awaits..

2024-07-25 22:33:58 UTC

To future students, I would say in order to be successful in this class would be to stay on top of your work; even then Professor Donna Greene is very lenient with turning in late assignments, except discussions.

Your journey awaits and wishing all a successful path.

To our friends and future colleagues of CDE 103 next semester

2024-07-27 09:06:19 UTC

What you should know to be successful in this course is your professor Donna Greene is not one of those who just talks the talk she is about what she says! I had a tough personal time during the midst of this semester due to multiple family emergencies and personal health issues leading to a decline in my grade that I was scared I wasn’t going to recover from, or worst lead to me being dropped from the course. I was feeling defeated so I decided to cut my loses and be open and honest with professor Donna and she did work with me to continue my studies and work towards getting back on track with the course. A lot of the time we get teachers and professor who just say that they are understanding but I (you) are fortunate to have someone who really does want to see you succeed if you really are serious about the course and ECE. This is not something to take advantage of but just know that the first assignment the check in when I described what made a good teacher patience and understanding was one of the things I listed and is what you have in Donna Greene. Wishing you the best of luck and success in this course and your journey towards a career best suited for you. Best of luck!

Your friend, Destiny.

In an online "Principles & Practices of Teaching" class, success hinges on actively participating in virtual discussions and engaging with digital course materials. It’s important to thoroughly understand teaching theories and their applications by taking advantage of online resources and interactive components of the course. Make an effort to connect with peers through online forums and group projects to simulate collaborative teaching experiences. Developing strong organizational skills will help manage the asynchronous nature of online learning effectively. Regularly check for feedback from instructors on your assignments and be proactive in seeking clarification or support when needed. Staying updated with current educational trends through online articles and webinars can also enhance your understanding. If I were to retake the course, I would focus on utilizing digital tools and platforms more effectively to simulate real-world teaching scenarios and engage with online communities for broader perspectives and support.

Tips to help you get through CDE 103

2024-08-01 05:02:16 UTC

CDE 103 has a lot of great material. There is a lot of reading and discussions required but everything we discuss is to help you become successful in the career for early childhood.

My main advice would be to prioritize your time. Use your calendar on Canvas and figure out how and when you want to complete those assignments. Set goals on when they should be done. Make sure you are completely concentrated on the assignments put your working music on or background noise, I personally need silence.

The one thing I would differently would be to read more, I think I was going through the material to quickly without fully understanding the concept sometimes.

This class will help you become successful in your future endeavors as an educator whether for early childhood or K-12.

2024-08-01 06:32:20 UTC

Hello, future teachers, I would like to say that CDE-103: Principles & Practices of Teaching was a course that prepared you for any type of situation or experience you might need to use later in your career. My advice to you would be to always turn in your work on time, especially if you are taking more than one course. Also, make sure to ask for help or clarity in an assignment or discussion you are not sure you understand. Overall, Professor Greene is a very sweet and kind teacher. She likes to see her students succeed, and I was glad that I was able to meet her. Professor Greene, thank you for your patience and your dedication. I enjoyed taking your class.

Hello everyone

This is for CDE 103

This class in the beginning of the semester it started with many assignments, and it was a bit overwhelming, but once you start to get into the school and study mode it will get easier. As we got into the middle of the course assignments went down and it got a bit easier. Professor Greene is wonderful, this is the second time I have her as my ECE teacher and she has always been great and very responsive with emails and any questions you may have. I've learned very much in this short course. My advice is don't stress, read ahead of time and don't leave your assignments for last minute. Good Luck Everyone!

Hello CDE 103 future students!

2025-03-14 21:29:45 UTC

If you watch videos for an assignment take notes! And lastly don't stress, just do the best you can and don't wait until the last minute. Good luck Ya'll!

What helped me the most this class was managing my time, doing the reading, and communicating with Professor Greene. She is flexible with due dates, and that helped me out a lot this semester, but you also have to be mindful of the work load! This was my first time taking an accelerated course, and although it was fast paced, it allowed for assignments to be concise and useful. There have been many resources shared that I've saved for personal and future use. I was apprehensive about my engagement with the course material since it's a fully online class, but I was happy to find that the material was interesting and useful! It's important to remind yourself why you're taking this course, and what your own personal goals are. Keep going, and it will be worth it!

2025-03-18 13:39:19 UTC

My advice would be to stay organized and jot down due dates—this course has quite a few assignments, like reflections, discussions, research papers, and a portfolio. Using a planner will be useful.

Also, participate in discussions actively! Discussions with your peers will enhance your learning and make studying enjoyable. Start your portfolio early by finishing your reflections and discussions because those are what end up in it. It's a big portion of the course, and working on it step by step will give you less anxiety in the future.

Use feedback from Professor Greene to improve your work, and use credible sources for research. Good sources make a difference.

If I were to take the class over, I'd be more organized and take better notes.

Good luck, and enjoy the class! 😄

Good Luck!

Hello everyone,

This reflection is for CDE 103! First, I want to say that this was my first ever fast-paced class, and it was definitely very different from my other classes. There is a lot of information to learn in just eight weeks, so I highly recommend staying on top of your work. Never fall behind.. not that I did but I can only imagine how stressful it would be. Something I would do differently is ask for more help on assignments. It was something I would restrain myself from because I thought I could do it on my own. However, it would’ve saved me from so much stress and confusion. Good luck everyone!

Hello all! Taking CDE - 103 was one of the best classes I have taken. Not only was it very fun, but it was very helpful, as it really did help me in figuring out my next steps in the ECE field!

My words of wisdom would be to always put your best work forward, to try your best to stay on top of things, and to ensure you keep a balance of both school and regular life.

The one thing I want make very clear though, is to not put yourself down. We are all not perfect, and we will make mistakes sometimes, so try not to be to hard on yourselves. Everyone is going through their own lives, going through things none of us will really know, so, give yourself some grace, and keep working towards your goals!

Good luck to you all!

A few things about being successful is being organized when it comes to keeping track of assignments, engaging in other classmates' discussion, reading through modules or posts that have been made, and finding a flexible schedule to do assignments. One thing I would do differently if I had to retake this class is ask for help on certain topics I struggled with in this course. Overall, the professor is very flexible when it comes to turning in assignments even when they are late and is great at giving feedback. - Alexia Romero-Rabago

Advice for CDE 103!!!

2025-03-20 03:30:09 UTC

Hi! My best advice for all you CDE 103 students is to not procrastinate! I tended to wait last minute to do certain assignments and let me tell you it gained me more stress and also affected my grade when I'd turn certain assignments in late. Don't stress though and reach out for help if you need it! Professor Greene has expressed that she will help you if you just reach out. She's an excellent professor and I can tell she loves her job. I loved this class! I hope you do too!

Hello everyone! My best advice is to always make sure you complete your work on time and make sure you turn in everything correctly to recieve full credit. If I was able to retake this course and eoukd be able to go back I would’ve done my work with more time.

Thoughtful Advice

2025-03-20 04:55:28 UTC

Some advice I would give to is that manage your time wisely, have a plan on how you are going to tackle the assignments. Giving yourself the time to do the assignments and do the research will help you out with staying on top of everything. Ask for help from the teacher or tutors, when falling behind do not be afraid to speak up, life can always get in the way but speaking out will help you. Another thing will be do not overwhelm yourself with the assignments and your daily schedule, take it one day at a time and you will get through this class. I learned a lot from this class, and I was able to put a lot of this into practice at my work. My supervisor has seen how much I have grown, and they encourage me to continue expanding my knowledge. This is a fun class when you do not let life and class responsibilities overwhelm you.

My number one piece of advice to future students in this class is to stay on top of your work. You will be reading A LOT and will have to engage in discussions with your peers, be sure to take as many notes as possible. Use a planner to write down your assignments and stay on top of them, if you are lost or confused email your professor, she will get back to you in a timely manner. This class can be time consuming but if you use your time wisely and dedicate time for your work it should be okay.

Advice

aarmenta887 — 2025-07-28 19:23:12 UTC

The biggest piece of advice I can offer is stay on top of the readings and assignments. The week goes by very fast and you don't want to leave everything for the last minute. What I found helpful was looking through all the assignments as soon as the module was available and making a list separate in my notebook to check off. Take notes on the readings so you know where to go back to if there's something specific you want to cite in your discussion posts or reflections. Join in on office hours if you can it's very helpful if you need clarification on an assignment.

Advice

2025-07-28 23:46:08 UTC

I would say that you should plan your assignments with the knowledge of their weight in your grade for the course. Put your best effort in this class and make sure you allow time to submit quality work.

2025-07-29 21:05:40 UTC

The last words I have to say to anyone who is doing CDE 103 next semester my biggest tip is to be consistent. Don t take this course as a mere box to check since it is full of facts and considerations that are truly valuable. You should read it diligently, at least in regards to professional standards and teaching philosophies, which are popular. I would change having started to build portfolio earlier before rushing close to the time of the end. Speak to your instructor in case you have problems, he/she will be sorry to see you fail. But the greatest thing of all is to have fun getting to know what sort of educator you would like to be. It actually assisted in carving my career.

For future students who will be taking this course, my advice to be successful is to be on track with all assignments since it’s a fast course and it's going to be a lot of work.

Professor Greene is amazing and she answers fast and helps you get through the process. Best of luck!

CDE 103 Advice

2025-07-30 04:17:25 UTC

The best piece of advice I can offer is to put 100% of your effort. Do not procrastinate! Stay on top of all your work. Life can get tough and busy but time never stops moving. Staying organized and being ready to engage in class material is vital. Find a system which works for you, if that’s keeping your notes digital or hand written. Ask questions. Your professor is in your corner and it’s in your best benefit to fully understand your lessons, projects, discussions etc. If you don’t know if the moment that’s ok, ask for help.

My wall of wisdom advice

2025-07-30 06:14:43 UTC

One thing I learned in this class is how important it is to stay on top of your work. Don’t wait until the last minute to do assignments. Use reminders and check Canvas often so you don’t miss anything. Do not rely on the to do list go through the modules one by one.

If I could take the class again, I would start working on my portfolio earlier and ask more questions when I got stuck.

Also, don’t be afraid to email the professor. She really does want to help and is super nice! Take your time, ask for help, and believe in yourself. You got this!

Word to the Wise

2025-07-30 21:13:15 UTC

DO NOT slack off, to put it bluntly. If you are on the fast track courses, grab a planner or an app, write down EVERY assignment with check boxes next to it, including the discussion board replies, and as you complete the assignment, put a check mark in the box. Or, if you need to google or AI how to be organized in school, DO IT. There is a lot of busy work, unfortunately, but if you do it correctly, you will learn a lot. Go through ALL assignments at least a week before and make sure you understand it. If you don't understand something or need clarification, Professor Donna is great at responding to emails and messages. Better than most professors. Good Luck!

Final Reflection - Words of Wisdom

2025-07-31 04:11:38 UTC

To the future students of Principles and Practices of Teaching, welcome!

This class will help you grow and learn what it means to be a great teacher. My biggest advice is to stay prepared, be organized, and always speak up if something is wrong. If you are having trouble with anything in the class, do not stay quiet. It is very important to talk to the professor and ask questions. Being shy will not help you if you need answers.

Do not wait until the last minute to do your work. This is a fast class, and there is a lot to read and write. You need to give one hundred percent and try your best in every assignment. Always read everything carefully and check for announcements often. Remember, grades are not given, they are earned. If you work hard and stay focused, you will do well in this course.

There will be a couple projects, but they are very helpful. These projects will teach you more about what it means to be a student and a future teacher. Professor Greene is amazing and truly wants you to succeed. She is kind, understanding, and always there if you need help. This class is a great way to begin your journey into teaching.

Hello future CDE-103 students,

My only advice would be to really take in the information in the course as it really sets the foundation for the field of early childhood care and education. A foundation of ethics and of what really matters most when it comes to working with children. I am happy I took this class as it has refreshened my passion for working with children. Thank you, Professor!

Wall of wisdom

Take this course seriously. It's more than simply milestones and ideas; it's about truly understanding how children develop, think, and feel. Keeping up with the readings and linking them to real-life events, whether through my personal family, career, or the instances provided in class, was beneficial.

If I could do it over, I would begin tasks earlier. That's where many of the best thoughts originated from. Also, don't be hesitant to ask questions or express your thoughts; this meeting is designed to help you think more deeply about children's needs and how adults might assist them.

2025-08-01 03:53:41 UTC

Hello, my best advice to all you future CDE 103 students is to not procrastinate and stay on top of their work, give it your all, this will allow you to be successful in this course without stressing. Something I would do differently if I could would be to do all the extra credit opportunities for a little boost to my grade. Another thing I would do is resubmit my assignments when I would get the chance to get a better score.
