How much ever be the influence of technology or information explosion, a lecture session with a teacher cannot replace anything. Still, do all students make it to every single lecture sessions?...NO. At the same time, do they miss all of their lecture sessions?...Answer is again NO. There is something that attracts students into some teacher's sessions. How many of us have the courage to give students an option to miss our class, while still giving them attendance?

Student - teacher relationship is similar to a business or customer service relationship. If we choose a product over another, the product/service should meet our needs and expectations. Here are some tips from my personal experience as a teacher;

1. Be genuine & trustworthy

2. Understand and focus the need of students (just try to understand why are they coming to your sessions). You classroom is not a place to showcase your knowledge and skill.

3. Be up-to-date with the topic

4. Convey them a feeling that you are there for them

5. Carefully align your classroom activities to the learning outcomes

6. Implement appropriate & effective active learning strategies in the classroom

7. Make students feel that each one of them are an important member & contributor to the classroom activities.

In the nutshell, there is no one-shot solution to engage and attract students in the classroom. It is the culmination of a number of well-knit activities and efforts. Just try to place yourself as your student and think what would you have preferred in a given situation.

Effective reflections. Thank you @Babu Noushad sir.
