Do you encourage students to be prepared for class beforehand through research on the internet and ask you tough questions while delivering the class?

It really does depend on the subject matter, but I have been lucky enough to teach subject matter which is directly related to my clinical experience. I usually start my teaching with a personal experience related to the learning context, which often draws the students' attention. I then ask the students if they have had a similar event or experience and open the forum for discussion. In my experience, this method usually engages the student as they then see vocational relevance of their learning. It is not to say that this cannot be done for other areas of learning. Perhaps you could engage the students more by showing the relevance of their learning context in an area that they recognise as important in the future
