@gmeers Instructor enthusiasm has a great deal of influence on the students. I know that when I am enthusiastic about a particualr subject I can tell that my students are more interested in learning that subject. most of the topics I teach I am enthusiastic about because it is motorcycle repair but everyone has those days where they might not have gotten enough sleep or are feeling under the weather and their enthusuaism isnt quiter there and the interest of the students falls off.
