As long as the instructor has a positive attitude so will the students and the out come will be more positive
Positive talk will motivate the students. Students want to learn subject material in a positive upbeat manor. Students do beter in labs as a result of positive talk.
I am asking the class all the time if they are having fun. They will responce will depend on my presentation. So I will incorperate fun task durning the lecture.
I find myself saying this alot in class. I tell students how much fun an activity will be or that I have something in store for them. Usually at the end of the activity... they like it (or atleast that's what they tell me).
