My experience has been that students find this extremely convenient, and appreciate it a great deal. I was giving a lecture last fall, and putting a great deal into trying to get a point across. I finished the example I was doing, and the students applauded. I usually get applause at the end of the last lecture of the semester, but this was just a random lecture in the middle of term. The opportunity to work with people.
Electrical engineering is an exciting field that is constantly being advanced.
It is the people in the field that are responsible for this, and I get to work not only with the next generation of electrical engineers through undergraduate and graduate teaching, but also with some of the best electrical engineers practising in industry via my research program. In short, I get to work with people of differing ages and experience, and this is extremely exciting. I have learned two very important lessons. First, let the students know you care about them as students. Encourage them to do well and emphasize throughout the term that you genuinely want them to succeed in your class.
