I learned so many things in this course, but it seemed that the main point was the expertise, excitement, confidence, and the enthusiasm of the instructor. I was reminded of team sports, where the coach is more than just a technician. All of the best game plans and practice are moot if the team is not motivated. The instructor like the coach is motivational to the students, their success is his success. My main plan of action is to be approachable, build rapport, and provide relevancy of the materials to the students.
