Drafting paper 2 #2

       Teaching is a difficult task especially in a class room setting. I admire and respect all teaches however some are better then others. Just last Semester i experienced the difference in a good teacher and a bad teacher. My English professor was a very smart women however was not able to teach a class well. i hated going to class, it was a waste of time. My math professor on the other hand was amazing. I looked forward to going to his class everyday. The differences between them are what made the difference in the educational experience. There are a few similarities between the professors , the differences are far more important.

        A teacher needs to be passionate and want to be there. Mr. Triplet was confident and passionate. everyday he came in to class excited and ready to teach us. Miss. M came into class second guessing herself. She showed that she didn't want to be there as much as some of the class didn't. When a teacher dose not want to be in class it makes the students not want to be in class.
        In order to be a good teacher you need to be able to engage all the students no matter what there level of knowledge. Mr. Triplet would explain the same thing several different ways and make sure everyone under stood before moving on. This made everyone feel like he was invested in ALL of us not just there to get a pay check. Miss. M Just handed out rubric's and told us to write. She then would answer e-mails, leaving us to figure it out among ourselves. She was only teaching towards the people that already had good writing abilities. Being a teacher you must be able to command the entire room and help everyone equally.
       When a teaching the teacher must have control of the class, this is important for being able to focus and concentrate. Mr. Triplet always had control. He would make it funny to point out people that were distracting. He was using embarrassment to get people to focus and not be distractions. Miss. M. let everyone do whatever they wanted. She would let the discussions drift to things that were not important to English. This made class hard to focus on and learn. It is important for professors to command the classroom and keep it on topic



Math Professor
 

1.  confidence and passion
2. teaching for all learning abilities and levels of knowledge
3. commanding to the class room can bond with all the students
4. made learning fun and exciting

English professor

1. let students rule class
2. easily distracted
3. no new knowledge on subject's
4. no direction in class room and chaotic at times

theses are some of the reason's why class was good and bad depending on the teacher. Math is one of my worst subjects because of dyslexia and my professor was able to engage me and teach how I understood. I looked forward to going to class. English is easier to me however, my professor made me not want to be there. its all in the difference in who is teaching not so much what they are teaching. A good teacher can make any subject your favorite subject
