I try to impart to the student what it was like for me when I was just starting out in my field.It creates empathy,security and identification on the part of the learner

I always find it helpful to remind the students at the middle of the block just how far they've come and to keep their motivation set at a high level for the rest of the course.I try to show them my respect for the fact that most of them are working full time and going to school and for the fact that many have made sacrifices to be doing this.
