Learning to Listen to Your Students

I think that so many of their classes are designed around regiment, not even riger regiment where you are supposed to do these things the same way every week. I usually re teach myself the importance of listening the first week of the smasterand it usually happens once every two years or so. Every time i have a bad day in class, i find it's because i didn't listen carefully enough to the students. The less i try and impose myself on them, the more organic and natural the class becomes. And then i become a resource for them where i can help them think through things but they are going to be determining where we go.
