Some of the characteristics of my favorite instructors I’ve had in the past, are the instructors that enjoy teaching their subject and their ability and desire to change their teaching style to help their students learn. When an instructor isnt just going through the motions and knowing their job is to teach someone something so they can actually use the knowledge. When an instructor can teach with humor and sarcasm that makes the experience even more enjoyable. When an instructor can give you real world examples so you can relate real world practical experiences to the subject they are teaching. The best instructors always have a goal of making you better than when you walked in without having any ego and they can adapt to their students learning ability. Also an instructors ability to say I dont know, lets figure it out or try it out.

I completely agree with you. The best instructors are the ones who truly care about teaching, adapt to different learning styles, and make the subject engaging. Humor, sarcasm, and real-world examples make learning memorable and practical. It’s inspiring when an instructor’s goal is genuinely to make their students better, without ego getting in the way. Admitting “I don’t know” and working together to find answers shows humility and commitment, which makes students respect them even more.
