Teaching style

I make class fun, exciting, comfortable, and overall a place where students want to be. I give students all the materials necessary to succeed, and I bend over backwards to help students in every possible way, but in no way do I force students to learn - that responsibility is on them. But if a class is structured correctly, students always choose to participate =)
