What do you like most in a teacher?

Question

I like ones that are caring and always encourage their students to do well...and never have a negative attitude.

Answer 1

I enjoyed teachers who were:

- knowledgeable
- interesting
- enthusiastic about the subject he or she taught
- fair to all students
- available for questions and after-class help

I hated teachers who were:

- condescending (I even had one professor roll her eyes at me once)
- boring
- harsh graders
- unorganized

Answer 2

My favorite teachers are always those who care and will take the time to ask you how you're doing. They're passionate about their subjects and teach them in a very engaging way. They take the extra mile to make sure you're doing well. And they're very understanding if you forget today is the due date for a paper! Teachers without a sense of humor usually intimidate me.

Answer 3

One who never fails to care and tries to understand the students.

Ones that actually want to teach because they like teaching.

The ones that do it for the 8 - 3 job and summers off - we do not need them!

Patience.
