I have learned through experience that my student have a lot to do with what type of instructor I am going to be for them. After observing students during the first day of a course and solidifying of observations after the first quiz, I quickly develop a strategy of how my course delivery will be.

I find that students have always been curious about me even before they meet me. That curiosity begins with my name as they all try to guess what my origin is and such. When they meet me for the first time, their curioisty tends to carry them throughout the course again, curious about my knowledge of the subject matter I am presenting. Fortunately for most of them, their curiosity leads them into understanding the subject matter and then later investigating how far the acquired knowledge will get them.

I usually have a general plan for each course that I teach, however, the real plan is sealed once I have idea of the avearge competence level of the students in the course.
