Knowing your subject and being able to motivate students is vital. Students want to know that they can succeed.

I'd like to do simulations of the real world, so the information I'm teaching is just not information for information saved. It is the actual information that can be applied. The bottom line is this. Do you want to take the information and be able to solve the problem?
