It is all about feeling.

Welcomed, pampered, important, comfortable, entertained, relaxed, at ease and appreciated.

Be a good listener.

Be a good listener could be just the key of showing that you care for the students and you are there when they need support. Sometime they do not want you to find the solution, they just want to vent.

Memory, also called storage, as teacher we must give the storage's keys to the students in order for them to utilize what has been stored inside!!!!

Questioning

If I give the students a list of questions the day before the lecture day, if I ask them to prepare their answers for the next day class could it be an appropriate technique?

Planning and preparation

The planning and preparation before the first day should not be modified after you had class for a few days depending on how the new class responds?

Know your students.

Learning something personal about each student give the instructor a connection and show the student you care. How much information is enough information?
