The Essay the teacher didn't Get



There is one aspect of my education that I dislike and that is when teachers refused to be more interactive with students. During my first semester at Auburn University, I have sat in classes where a few college professors refused to move around classes or use some kind of humor in their lectures to make learning more interesting. Instead, these professors sat right behind their podiums or desks and taught class. This not only makes learning uncomfortable for students, its also pretty boring. I mean who would want to listen to some boring professor that sits behind his or her desk and teach out of the book. I apologize if I offended anyone but goodness its ok to laugh sometimes! When students sit in these classrooms there already nervous about their performance in the class. A professor that interacts with students makes it comfortable for the students to participate in class. I think the teaching method of the prfessor is a reflection of their personality. A good teacher should understand how frightening it is for some students to enter the college environment. Therefore, making the classroom a fun learning environment could not only make learning easier but make teaching easier as well. Interaction with students could also give teachers the ability to learn from the students. So lets make teacing fun! Please.
