Hi Thomas:
At orientation, I tell students to try to get on the same wave lenght as their teacher. For me, that means, if I have a topic with several important points, and I am being serious in my delivery, that's the level they should be on. In contrast, another topic may be lighter, and the points less important, so I approach it with humor, stories, past situations, mistakes I've made, etc. That's the level they hould on as well.
Regards, Barry
