"It can be fun when a teacher decides to shake things up in the classroom. Truth be told, some of my best classes were ones where the teachers' teaching methods were anything but traditional. In fact, I had numerous teachers and professors that completely relied upon creativity and inspiration as the guiding forces in their teachings."
