Every teacher in college is different; many have very different teaching habits. If every teacher was the same it would feel as if the students were being taught by robots; students would become very bored throughout the school day. When college students start school they are very nervous about how their teachers are going to act. College teachers can be broken up into three groups: positive, negative, and neutral teachers.
The positive teachers are by far the minority of the three groups of teachers. Positive teachers are the most agreeable teachers. A positive teacher is one who seems interested in his or her subject and his or her students. The first thing a positive teacher does is try to learn all of the student’s names. This kind of teacher allows for questions and discussions in class and does not seem to mind if a student disagrees with him or her. A positive teacher shows his or her interest out of class as well. Not only is he or she available for conferences, but he or she encourages students to see him or her if they need help. The students tend to feel comfortable in the presence of this teacher. A good example of a positive teacher is one that always allows time during the class hour for some class discussion. Positive teachers, during conferences with students are always very polite and make as much of an effort as possible to make sure the student understands. The teacher will often show examples to help the student. The professor will go into deeper detail of what the textbook is talking about. Positive teachers will always go the extra mile to help students out. These types of teachers are more than just teachers, they also help students with problems they are having outside of the classroom. If a student is having family issues positive teachers will gladly sit down with the student and listen. The teacher will also give the student advice on the problem, and how they should handle it.
