Brown (2004)

Students' characteristics can affect their expectations to lecturers, e.g., organised vs spontaneous

friendliness or approachability (willingness to answer quesetions) may not be enough

A way to answer question has an impact -> Supportive / flexible enough to match their needs

Competent lecturers know their subject are willing to answer questions, approachable and have a sense of humor (Brown, 2004)

They found what students want from survey -> Charisma, leadership and teaching effectiveness are rated higher than teaching ability
