good:
- fun
- passionate
- uses stories from their personal life to explain concepts
- very clear about homework, exam, etc.
- organized resources
- optional resources for additional learning/practice
- always includes students in the teaching (e.g. lets them read) but doesn't force it
- info about exam structure in lesson 1
- uploads powerpoints at the start of the lesson
- always laughing, doesn't feel like a lecture but more like a conversation
- pop culture references, tv show clips, etc
- puts all the resources online from the start and says exactly what students have to do the whole semester
- doesn't just speak themselves, lets students speak and explain things
bad:
- awkward silences, e.g. during youtube ads
- typing during class
- not repeating the question when nobody answers (they might not have heard it)
- saying the same joke twice
- shows too many youtube videos
- youtube ads / autoplay
- too much text on powerpoint
- ugly/boring powerpoint
- abstract concepts without examples
- thinks they're always smarter than the students
- never sees when someone is raising a hand
- takes days to send what the homework even is
- guilt-trips students about how stressed they are
- uses difficult words and assumes that everyone knows the meaning
