Like most, I’ve had a wide ranging experience in my education. I’ve had teachers I really enjoyed being taught by, and others who I struggled to find interesting or learn anything from. If I could come to one conclusion it was that any and all of my favorite teachers or professors had a great sense of humor. Many of them had a sarcastic sense of humor similar to my own, so I often looked forward to attending class if for nothing else than a laugh.
I have unfortunately also had my share of uninteresting, lifeless, monotone teachers whose classes I found difficult because I found it difficult to identify with them. Everyone has had these types of instructors before, who boringly read PowerPoint slides in one long unbroken sentence. I've found it difficult to pay attention to even interesting material due to the way it was being presented. In short, teachers need to have personality, even if it rubs some students the wrong way it is far more beneficial to everyone if the teacher acts like themselves and tries to instill interest in what they are trying to teach.
