Hello Jennifer,
How much class time is used to talk about things other than class work, and generally what kind of things do you and your students talk about? How do you build a rapport with those students that only want to talk about the class work? My favorite motto is, "A student doesn't car how much you know until they know how much you care." It is super to have a great rapport with your students, but you as the instructor must know when to draw the line.
