Retention
The enthusiasm an instructor demonstrates during lectures can definitely affect interest as well as retention. Its important to keep students motivated so they will look forward to being in class everyday. There's an art to lecturing on boring subject matter to ensure that the students are grasping the subject. Therefore it's the instructor's responsibility to try and spice things up by adding little life experiences at the right time and place to keep it interesting.
Making the lecture fun will draw in the students with activities that they can do during different stages of the lecture then they are more involved and less likely to be bored.
Agreed. If I'm lecturing on a boring topic, I try to incorporate humor when appropriate. Students find our Safety and Sanitation class very boring,so I find making comments about how much fun it would be to have the specific side affects of a particular food born illness, like coughing up worms. I also like to incorporate personal experiance when appropriate.
I agree, although I do find that repetition is another key to success.
I agree with you an boring class or instructor, doesn't make the student to look forward to come to class every day. I like to spice my class with real working experienceand make it fun.
