Most teachers go into a class without any preconceived ideas of whether or not they like students.
However, there are several things which impress a teacher.
- commitment to completing work to the best of one's ability, even if one struggles
- honesty
- attentiveness and following instructions
- willingness to be involved in class and group discussions and activities
- perseverance through even difficult tasks
- resilience when things do not go one's way
