The presence of diverse cultural and life experiences poses challenges for instructors in effectively establishing connections with every student, comprehending their career aspirations, and involving them through innovative teaching methodologies. Embracing a non-traditional approach to instruction can potentially yield mutual success for both students and instructors. The foundation for achieving this lies in cultivating a rapport of trust between students and instructors. Such a rapport fosters an environment wherein students feel comfortable unveiling their thoughts, concerns, challenges, and other pertinent aspects to an instructor.
