Discussion:
selective enthusiasm

A string that has connected many of the lectures in this training has been the need to show interest and enthusiasm in your classroom. Where I absolutely agree that students will mimic the mentalities of the instructor and that viewing passion is one of the most powerful motivators available, I also think it may be worth noting that there is such a thing as too much enthusiasm. The consequence of which resulting in students that see their instructors passion as being less genuine.

Has anyone felt they needed to dial back to emphasize other points in lectures or experienced a professor that seemed to be on either extreme [too passionate or too Ben Stein]?
