A very important message was sent here in the form of "think what you would want for yourself and then deliver it to the students" or something on that line. I'm a firm believer in this. Even though I'm now an instructor I'll always consider myself a student. Lack of sound information, and lack of truly caring where one of the factors I felt affected me most as a student. I've always felt a lot of instructors work on the "show-off" mode rather than the "show-me" mode. I want someone interested in teaching ME, rather than showing off to me what they know. Motivating my students to me starts with pride. They need to feel a sense of pride for what they're doing and they need to feel accomplished not by me showing off but by them doing it themselves.IT WORKS!!
