Respect VIA professionalism and knowledge
In general terms, most students will respect the instructor who:
1. Respects them
2. Respects the classroom
3. Respects the subject matter they are involved in
4. Respects we are all human (well, most of us :))
5. Rejects nonsense as concerns the subject matter
6. Cares about their students success
7. Respects the fact that the instructor is there to
serve the students in a leadership capacity.
