It is also extremely important to understand the material you will present. Preparation on the instructors part is vital to the students learning environment. Being able to field questions on the subject matter will give you viability as a reference source for the students. Being capable of interjecting "life experience" examples will also secure the material in their minds

I agree. If you don't prepare for class, your students will know that you are just rambling and trying to fill your way. If you actually review the text and know what it entails, you can present relevant information.
