Great acticle. I’m only a student at the moment, but I’ve found that the teachers who are the best help to me are the ones who get to know you outside of the classroom/lecture hall, who are always avalible to talk to, not just about work but about life in general, and who make you feel valued, and that what you are doing is worthwhile.
