I guess many Universities, including Leeds, have 'inspirational teaching
and learning' among their targets. But how best can we set out
purposefully to INSPIRE students?
Looking back, I was inspired by only a few of the lecturers I had as a
student. The common factors I remember were their enthusiasm, and their
seeming to LIKE students.
I wonder if we can gather a bit more about what inspires students. As a
start to this, would you be so kind as to reply with short answers to the
questions which follow?
[I'm also asking present-day students about what inspires them, but I'm
keen to link this to what inspired us in the first place].
Best wishes,
Phil

What percentage (roughly) of your lecturers inspired you, when you were a
student?
What did they actually DO which inspired you?
What sort of people were they - was it more about what they WERE than
about what they DID which inspired you?
What else (besides your lecturers) inspired you as a student?

Many thanks for your reply. I'll try to draw trends from all replies
together, and circulate it back to SEDA colleagues. Phil
