“I also genuinely find this topic fascinating, so I’m able to talk passionately about it. ”
This may be the problem, if every lecture you are not passionate about the subject how can the students know when to tune in or tune out. I think that the methods of teaching are so off putting to the modern student that they have a hard time wanting to grab ahold of it.
And is the present classroom style of teaching the most effective way to reach a student now with all of the other tools available. Back in my day it was the only way to reach a student in an economical way, now I am not so sure, especially when all there is is a lecture and not any interchange between the professor and the students.
