We just hosted our annual luncheon recognizing our top instructors, and I asked several of our top faculty members why they think their students view them as the best. Several of their replies are relevant on this topic. They shared points that included being: Relevant, contemporary, and enjoyable Firm, fair. consistent, and personable. Enthusiastic, compassionate, fair, and caring. Supportive, diligent, and passionate. Finally, they all stressed that they help students believe in themselves.
