I try to always think about what is relevant to the student. A certain amount of theory is fine, but it has to have application at some level. The instructor needs to be able to demonstrate this to the student.

Get to know the students

I like to take a few minutes at the beginning of a class, particularly the first day of a class, and get some personal informtaion out of each student. I'd especially like to know why they are in the class and what the expect to get out of it.

Mixture of topics

I like to bring variety into the classroom. All lecture can be deadly, so I like to vary the content with real world examples and problem based learning.

Real World Examples

Students need to see that you have relevance as an instructor. I think this can be best accomplished by brining your own real world experiences in the class. Asking them for their own examples is good tool as well.
