Our 6th and last class observation was as usual and nothing was new. We went there at 12:00 pm. It was only one hour. The teacher was giving the students feedback to do it by their own. Then when they finished he gave them a review sheet for the test. After that he sat and watched them working and answered their questions.

Our fifth class observation was in business building in GJ03. The class started at 8:00am and finished at 9:00am. So we went there on time. The students were had to finish the project which was giving to them in last Thursday.
At the begging of the class the teacher was sitting on the middle of the class and the students were sitting around her because she was helping them in their project. So they were completing the rest of the exercise. The teacher was using the board when she want to explain the things that they didn’t understand it.
The students were helpful and baying attention with the teacher. They were making noise sometimes. Also they were asking questions and discussing.
In conclusion, I think that group work is very useful way to teach the students so they can discuss and help each other. Also it challenges the highest level students and allows the lowest students to participate and learn.
Our fourth class observation was also in business building in GJ03. As usual we went there at 8:00am and we spend there one hour. So we finished at 9:00am. The title of the class was customer service. The teacher start the class at about 9:10am.
First of all, the teacher wrote on the board the things that they going to study. Then she was explaining for the students about the title of the class and what they will learn from it. Firstly, she started the lesson by discussing and asking the students about the good thing and the bad things in services which was their lesson in the previous class. After that she told the students what to do by giving them some instructions. She gave them papers and ask the to do the exercises. In addition, the teacher was walking around solving problems and answer student’s questions.
The student was quiet. However, they were talking sometimes. Moreover, they was working hard and helping each other.
In conclusion, I think the teacher should dive the students activities to make the class more fun and not boring. Also she has to use one of these technologies the board, smart board and projector to help the students understanding more.
Our third class observation was as usual at business building in GJ03. We went there at 8:00am. Our time there is one our so we finished at 9:00am. The teacher gave the students a revision because they were having an exam at the next day.
The students were sitting around the tables. At the begging of the class the teacher told the students that they will have a review for the exam. Firstly, the teacher gave the students each one 4 papers for the review . she asked them to open page three in their papers. She started doing with them the example by using the smart board. After that when she finished. She told the students that these examples are available on the G drive on their computers. The teacher asked the students to go to their computers and do the last example by their self. She was walking around watching them and answers their questions and solves their problems.
The students were showing respect and not talking a lot. They were helping each other and interact with the teacher.
In conclusion, I think that the teacher was explaining for the students in a good way. She was using the smart board and gives them a time to do by their self because this will make them understanding easily.

Our second class observation was in business building in GJ03. Firstly we went there and sat in the class. Then, the teacher came in. They began the class at 12:00 pm and we finished at 1:00 pm. The students was walking in. so we start the class at about 12:15pm.
First of all, the students were having exercises to do in the previous class. So the teacher began with a revision about what they were taken in the last class. He asked them to complete the exercises and when they will finish they have to start typing. The students started doing their work while the teacher was walking around the class to help and answer their questions. After that, he asked the students to pay attention because he is going to do the last example or exercise with them because the students took a lot of time and they didn’t finish what they have to do yet. He asked them to switch off their screen and by using the smart board he started doing the last exercise with them. When he finished, he asked them if they have any questions. Then he gave them a break for 10 minutes.
Most of the students were often concentrating. But some students, who were sitting at the back, were talking and making noise. However, They were paying attention when the sir was explaining.
In conclusion, I think the students must be more constrained. Also the teacher had to be more Strict with the students. In addition, the teacher should give the student more time to finish their work.

Our class observation was at JG04 in the Business building. We went there at 12:00 pm and we stayed there for an hour. In this essay I will write about what happen in the class the teacher, students, the activities and the organization. Firstly, the teacher took the attendance at the begging of the class. After that he told the student about what he will teach them today. Also he asked them to log in their computers. But before that he showed them a letter with a name at the top and this was their lesson.
At the begging of the lesson the teacher was using the board to draw for the student how to make a letter stating from the name. At the same time he was using the smart board. He wrote the steps on the board so the students can follow them. Firstly he showed them how to make a list. After that he gave them a time to make it by them self. Secondly, he explain for them how to write a letter. Then he gave them a time again to write by them self. After that he showed them how to join the list to the letter. He gave them a time to do it on their computers. At the end he previewed the sheets that he was explaining about for the students. He showed them the problems that will face them and how to fix it. He told them to finish their work. Finally, he asked them for their attention and asked them if there are any difficulties. He gave them a break but before that he told them about what they are going to learn at the next class.
The students were paying attention to the teacher. In addition, they were working and asking the teacher if they have questions or problems. The students who were sitting in the back were talking. Also some of the students were not doing their works, just chatting and smiling. So the teacher used to keep them quite. Before the class finished one girl came in and the sir was asking her where she was. She laugh and the other students too. She sat and chat with the students while the teacher was standing and locking at her. The teacher start to be angry so he told them to stop to complete explaining the lesson.
In my opinion, the teacher was good but his voice was law and he didn’t give the students activities to do because of that the students was chatting and not paying attention.
