Building rapport for purpose
I have found that by building good rapport with students, understanding them, knowing about their hobbies, and interests, but not being too personal has helped me, help them with a little better approach to some of the ways I would deliver the information to them by knowing what excites them and by putting that excitement into their education and the delivery of the information I give them.
by building rapport, I also benefit from learning about their personal preferences and it helps me gear my lectures toward similar topics of interest.
yes i agree with building a student rapport to a certain extent but keep them excited about what there going to learn and there creative learning will stay focused.
