Agree..I find talking long walks.... working in my yard.....getting in those cat naps and watching scary movies helps my mind and body take a break so I give 100% when with my students!!

I stop whatever we are doing and ask the student to share whatever it is that has them off topic!! 

I agree with you 100% if you do not let them know the first meeting then you are setting yourself up and students for an unnecessary rocky road!!

I know at the start of each term each class we discuss and find out what type of learner they really are. It is amazing how many students really don't know but it is also very satisfying when you can help them find out! It has worked for many years and hopefully for many more!

Reply to Shelley Freshman's post:  Thats a great idea!!!

If the teacher/professor is motivated and enthusiastic about what they are teaching that tends to spread to your students!
