Characteristics of Effective College Instructor

Search the Library for article(s) on characteristics of effective college instructors and consider why these characteristics contribute to effectiveness. Next, select three of the characteristics researched in the article(s) that you feel are essential for effective psychology instruction. Then search the Walden Library for one article on strategies for developing the characteristics you selected. If you are unable to find an article that describes a strategy for your characteristics, then think of strategies that might be effective in developing those characteristics. Finally, reflect on whether an instructor can be effective without possessing the characteristics you selected.
With these thoughts in mind:

Part 1:
Post an explanation of the three characteristics you selected, and explain why they are essential for effective psychology instruction. Then explain the strategies that you might employ to develop those characteristics. Finally, explain whether an instructor can be effective without possessing the characteristics you selected. Be sure to reference the article(s) you selected from the Walden Library in your post, if applicable.

Part 2 :
Describe an effective former college instructor over the years of your higher education who exemplified one or more of the characteristics your colleague described, and explain the positive impact that instructor had on your professional development as a result of exhibiting that characteristic. If you have not experienced the characteristics your colleague discussed, explain how the lack of experiencing those characteristics might have affected your professional development and academic path.
