My Successes and Failures in Teaching Students on Campus¹

University of Missouri- Columbia 65201

Abstract

Teaching students on campus began for me in the fall of 1949 at the University of Missouri and has continued to the present time. During this period of almost 30 years, I have had thousands of students in my classes. Some of my teaching efforts have been moderately successful—others have not. The discussion here will involve my viewpoints on many aspects of a teaching program.

Different classes have different personalities. Some classes are responsive and some are not. Some are more easily motivated than others. Procedures that work well with one class may not work with another. This must be considered at the beginning of the semester and procedures for teaching planned as carefully as possible to fit each class.

Instructors also have different personalities. What may be successful for one instructor may not be for another. Over a period of years each instructor will discover procedures best suited to his style of teaching and his personality.
