teaching a course

By teaching the same course again and again it becomes repetative, not a bad thing, not only are you familare with the material but you can anticipate any questions that may come up.

angry students

I have found that most angry students are not angry with me or the class it's outside influences. I take them off to the side and find out what is wrong by talking to them on a one to one basis and then try to get them the help that they need.

unfocused students

keep reminding them of why they are there, what the goals are and keep them interested in the goals they want to attain.

fear of a new subject

I found that students don't like what they don't know, once they learn the subject their fear of that subject is gone. Typical response at the end of the course is "That wasn't so bad"
