Student needs.

In any classroom situation, the style of a teacher can make or break a learning experience. In the past I have had some teacher's I've liked and some that I have not. In my years as a student I found that the more outgoing of a personality they have the better! This is because they are exciting to listen to, where as a teacher that just hands out pages to read and doesn't make things interesting loses the attention of his/students. Specific examples of things teachers have done that I liked are getting breaks in the middle of class and allowing students to eat during work time. Both of these things are essemtial to healthy mind. The food acts as a fuel for thoughts, you simply can't think when you're hungry! Taking a break allows the brain to rest, by the time the break is over the brain is ready to start working again! These two simple things made learning much easier for myself. Something that I don't like is when teachers give no class time to do assignments and work. Not getting this amount of time after a lesson erases any chance for me to ask questions about the assignment. Having the time at the end of a period can further many people's learning and can cut back on confusion. If a teacher is able to satisfy the needs of their students, then the whole class will be more successful.
