What makes a pleasing course?
Learning can be informational and enjoyable at the same time. You can have a pleasurable class and still get your work done. We all learn things in different ways so why should we stick to the same basic learning that everyone knows. A college course can be enjoyable by new ideas and new learning strategies. Which will make it more pleasing for everyone since it’s something new that the class likes and all understands the course objective as a whole. A dull instructor is different from one that grasps your attention in many ways. New learning strategies for everyone to understand clearly, and more activities as a class. Also the overall personality of the instructor can have a toll if the class is gratifying.
Rather than having a mind-numbing instructor that does not grab your attention, you can have instructor that grabs your attention by the way they teach you the course objective. Such as new ideas to help students fully understand, in a individual way where everyone can understand. By doing this students will be more focused due to how the instructor has their attention. The instructor should always help all students understand what they’re learning instead of only half of the class. All students should feel equal to their peers in class when it comes to learning.

New learning strategies for each individual to understand at the same level as other classmates. One instructor may only want to have certain learning tactics for the course instead of coming up with others so that everyone understands the course work. An instructor can be firm about work but also can be exciting at the same time. You want all your students to learn but you should also want them to adore being in your course. That’s why an instructor that is just well-founded and straight forward through the course, have lower results of students who actually loves the course. Yet if the instructor makes it clear to students that they can have fun and also learn the results of pleasurable students will be higher. Excitement in the course does not automatically mean that work will not get done, but that learning should be entertaining since it’s something new to everyone.
Activities in class can also make a class pleasing; team work can help students work together. Working together can help undergraduates so that they do not have to work independently all the time. Though self-determining work is not a bad thing team work helps peers get along all together. Also by doing this everyone in the class will be cooperating instead of a select few. Projects can also help the class pleasurable since it involves something that can be creative, rather than basic test for mid-terms or finals. Basic Test get dull after a while since learners take them in most classes by this time. So by having projects will let the students actually present instead of sitting and going over multiple choice questions. Which allows students to work together or independently that will show their individuality.
Instructor’s personality can also conflict if a course is agreeable to the students. A authoritarian instructor may sometimes scare their students away compared to if the instructor is strict about learning but also willing for the students be excited about learning. Fun does not necessary mean students will not do their work but can possible make all students participate. Having fun can still get the work done and also students can still be on task at the same time. An instructor should get to know all there students this will also make it enjoyable, such as all students will know that the instructor cares for all of them. No student will feel left out if the lecturer makes time to speak to everyone and to help the ones who come to them. By doing this the class will run smoothly due to everyone being on one accord.
In conclusion an instructor can make their course enjoyable in many ways. Learning can be informal but also pleasurable to learn. There should be no limits to where you can obtain your education even if fun is involved. Not only will the students be happy but also the instructor because they will be pleased that all there students are learning. That’s why I believe a course can be enjoyable by new ideas and new learning strategies the instructor teaches. This will be agreeable for the whole class not just one individual. Such as that all students at the end of the day understand the course objective. Also that the instructor did their job by teaching to all students. That way everyone is happy with the results of grades and outcome of the course itself.
