Hi Erika: Some students may see the degree of preparation of the teacher and emulate it. Others seem to just see the instructor as a vehicle to give and grade assignments. Good preparation can help prevent the latter. Putting in the time and effort, thought and planning, and gathering the media, resources, and materials needed for the lesson make the class run smoothly, in a clam and relaxed manner, and that make for a more enjoyable and interesting class - that makes it memorable. Regards, Barry
