In my previous expiriences in teaching, I always manage to throw in a joke or 2 to keep the students enguaged & interested in the current lesson. This behavior keeps the students lookin forward to comming back  to class.

I have learned how to become a good listener even if some situations are out of my control.

Cridical thinking is an integral part of the course I'll be teaching. I will take time to incoroerate & analyze the questions or topics at hand.
