I have found that many students drop out because "it's not the place for them." Students often choose career schools because they are not only searching for the best lectures and education, they are searching for an experience. They are their because the admissions person made them comfortable, the instructor allowed them to share their experiences and encouraged them to keep attending.

Feedback gives the adult learner an opportunity to offer some of their suggestions and experiences to a course. This also makes them feel as though they are heard.

The Human Side

Most students do not view their instructors as human in my experience unless you are able to build report through sharing your life experiences. There is definitely value in sharing a few of your emotions during professional experiences in the field.

Knowing your students.
