1. The labs allowed me to assess my instructional strengths and weaknesses.
"I feel that I was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses
and now I can work with them." "Microteaching was a very beneficial tool, in the sense that
it has developed my confidence as well as focused on areas
that need improvement." "I learned so much about my weaknesses and strengths, personal
teaching attributes and new skills to employ when I enter the real world."
2. The labs increased and/or developed my public presentation/communication skills.
"The experience showed me how to present what I know to the
best of my ability." "This experience has made my anxiety of public speaking almost nonexistent." "I saw these microteaching experiences as excellent opportunities
for me to test my communication and teaching skills as well as
learn some new `tricks of the trade'."
