why is it important for lectures to motivate student or why not?
91382
To a degree, it's important simply that the instructor gets his/her point across in a clear and concise manner that students can understand and, in an ideal world, the message would be motivating.  But, the majority of motivation must come from within the student.  The student must have the inner motivation and drive to learn and to succeed.  An instructor can only do so much.  The majority is up to the student.

you know what, it is good for a teacher to praise his or her student because they can motivate there student to do well. However, its unethical for your teacher to show to her student that she or he has a favorite. Because it so unfair to the others who are much dedicated to their studies.

To be able to communicate information to students and to instill a desire to learn within them.  Tough job!

I am an actual professor, and unless the student has a history of slacking and then trying to suck up, I don't assume that their intent is bad.  Anything specific you can say would help ("I never thought I would find Victorian literature interesting, but your lecture on Joseph Conrad's work made me so curious that I bought Heart of Darkness to read over vacation.")  That shows that you actually listened to what she said in class.  Most people get far too little thanks for the work that they do, and I'm sure that your professor will appreciate anything you might say.

it depends what facilities you have in your class... if you are still in school.. you can try it with projector:). and bring loads of good materials linked to your subject. have good eye contact with people sitting infronto of you... ask themn questions.. give them opportunity to ask question... if you can find posters or pictured related to your subject... show them...\nspeak.. but dont give lecture.. just behave as if you are telling them a story and you should have good sence of humour :)

The only reason to study is to learn, to pass your classes, and to obtain a degree. \n\nThe only reasons to do this include improving your mind, understanding the world, preparing for a job/career, striving to meet goals that you set for yourself, hoping to make the world a better place.\n\nMost students get confused when they ask the question "why study?" as if studying is something that someone "makes" them do. Nobody makes you study; studying is important only as it helps you meet the goals that are important to the individual. \n\nOf course, in general, an educated populace is also a benefit to society and the world as well as to the educated individuals.

No.\n\nEveryone learns in a different style. From personal experience some professors read straight off the book, so why do I need to show up for class if you are reading word for word out of a book I paid $160 for? I learn better by reading it myself and I don't find someone else reading it or explaining it to me to be any easier or better. What you can do though is read ahead and then show up for class just to have the information presented to you once again so it gets 'stuck' in there easier and faster. \nHowever, some professors really do make the subject more interesting, they pull information from other sources and so forth - so you DO need to show up to understand the content better. \n\nIt all depends on the student's learning style and the professors teaching style. I still go to all my classes and have missed zero classes this semester and only missed one or two last semester. I find that if I don't go to class I just spend the day not doing anything and it is a waste. If nothing else, showing up for class pushes me to be in 'school mode.'

I've found that incorporating group activities is a good way to break the (sometimes) monotony of a class, and it gives the students a chance to apply the concepts you've been discussing.\n\nYou can also try bringing in outside materials - guest speakers, films, music, etc., that can be used to illustrate whatever you're teaching.\n\nAnother way is to have the students teach particular chapters or concepts; it forces them to learn and sometimes having students teach will keep their peers' attention better!\n\nA straight lecture for an hour or more does no one good. Good luck!

I used to lecture as well and there is nothing much to be done except to have a glass of water nearby and to take small sips of water every 15 minutes or so. This way you'll give your vocal chords a break and your throat will thank you for not running it dry. And it will give your students to reflect on the material for a moment\n\nWhen you first begin to lecture, there is a tendency to keep on going as you are excited especially when you are nervous in the beginning - just don't forget that glass of water standing by. Good luck.

I think the biggest motivator to study is to do well professionally (and maybe in the process find an intelligent and beautiful wife or gf, hey I'm not joking). That in turn my friend will ensure that a part of your happiness in future is taken care of. If you don't study now with interest and concentration you will suffer in the long run and badly as well.. And by the way.. studying is easy. There are more tougher things to come in life..so enjoy till you're a student and happy studying.

Depends whether you want lecture notes to provide classes, or you interested in taking a class in project management.\n\nThere are many places online that you can take courses in project management.    \n\nGetting lectures notes for you to teach a class would depend on how much you wanted to pay, if anything, along with potential copyright issues.

Yes, \nTechnology can support teaching and learning by including more senses (visuals to go along with lectures) etc. to provide more input for students and sometimes give them a chance for more active learning.  Not everyone is an auditory learner who does well with lectures and technology helps other kinds of learners.

If you don't have to pay attention I assume that you know the material. Most colleges will let you 'test out' out of a class and take one that offers more challenges.  If not you could participate and offer explanations that would help other students that may not be as knowledgeable in the class as you are. Often,  although the professors are expert in whatever class they are teaching, they have difficulty relaying  information so students can understand it. Last of all, like most everything else in life, its a matter of attitude. You go expecting to be bored you will be!

I could answer your question with only one word...Motivation!  However, I know your looking for more than that.  Studying for the most part can be anything but interesting.  Therefore, you must ask yourself; Why am I studying?  What is the goal I am trying to achieve?  What is my purpose?  What do I want out of it?  Anytime I am struggling with the same question, I ask myself those questions and it reminds me of just how easy it is to study even when I can't find any interest in it.

A big difference in how easy or difficult learning can result for our students depend in how motivated they are.  Unfortunately not all of our students are intrinsical motivated and it is up to us to provide that extra motivation. \nIf a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence.\nIf a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.\nIf a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.\nIf a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world.2\n1.You've got it made.2.You're on the right track now!3.You are very good at that.4.That's very much better!5.I'm happy to see you working like that.6.You're doing a good job.7.That's the best you've ever done.8.I knew you could do it.9.Now you've figured it out.10.Now you have it!11.GREAT!12.Keep working – you're getting better. 13.You make it look easy.14.That's the right way to do it.15.You're getting better every day.16.You're really growing up!17.Nice going.18.SENSATIONAL!19.That's the way to do it.20.That's better.21.Best yet.22.PERFECT!23.You're really going to town!24.TERRIFIC!25.Much better! 26.You've just about mastered that! 27.OUTSTANDING!28.You did that very well.29.FANTASTIC!30.You're really improving.31.SUPERB!32.Keep it up! 33.You've got that down pat!34.TREMENDOUS!35.Good thinking!36.Keep on trying!37.I've never seen anyone do it better. 38.I like that.39.I'm very proud of you.40.I think you've got it now. 41.You figured that out fast. 42.That's really nice. 43.You're right.44.CLEVER!45.That's great! 46.Way to go. 47.Now you have the hang of it!48.You've done a great job. 49.Congratulations, you got it right50.You're beautiful.51.That's RIGHT!52.That's GOOD!53.When I'm with you I feel like singing! 54.GOOD WORK! 55.I'm proud of the way you worked today.56.You're really working hard today.57.You've just about got it.58.THAT'S IT!59.Congratulations!60.That's quite an improvement.61.You are doing that much better today.62.I sure am happy you're my daughter/son/student, etc.63.You're learning fast.64.Good for you!65.Couldn't have done it better myself.66.You really make being a parent/teacher/caregiver fun.67.One more time and you'll have it.68.You did it that time! 69.That's the way!70.SUPER DUPER!71.You haven't missed a thing.72.Keep up the good work.73.Nothing can stop you now!74.EXCELLENT!75.That's the best ever.76.FINE! 77.Wonderful! 78.That's better than ever. 79.I appreciate your hard work.80.Now that's what I call a fine job!81.You must have been practising!82.You're doing beautifully.83.Right on!84.Good remembering!85.You did a lot of work today!86.You certainly did well today.87.You're doing fine.88.You are really learning a lot.89.You outdid yourself today!90.SPLENDID!91.Good going!92.MARVELLOUS!93.You're doing the best you can! 94.Good job.95.You remembered.96.That gives me a happy feeling. 97.Well, look at you go! 98.DYNAMITE!

As a teacher , I would like to share my experience regarding this question.I think, teacher is not a dectator rather a person as facilitator, who never impose his/her ideas, feelings, and ideology rather he/she triggers the students' potentiality.Thus, a good teacher always triggers the students' good behavriours rather than molding student's behaviour according to his/her eyes( view).

I would not be so sure. You have obviously made a good case for the pros of the set up. But I believe that students at an impressionable age lack the determination to sit through an internet session and learn something from it.\nThe very way teaching is conducted, empahsizes on serious taxation of the brain and I can much imagine the current crop of students, already suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder to not make much sense of such a course.\n\nMaking them sit through the course in a class may just work better
