Geri, There's little that can compare with a passionate instructor who is enthusiastic about their topic. It's attractive and encourages participation and commands attention. Each teacher has their own version of the way they may express their delivery, but if the teacher does not show excitement and interest, how the heck are the students expected to be interested? We're all different in our expression, but even in that difference, we can demonstrate interest, enthusiasm, and gusto in every student encounter. Barry Westling
