In the university I had a teacher who explained the whole class with anecdotes of his life and then he asked us if something similar had happened to us inviting us to tell the story and why it had to do with the subject, he gave our a guide to review it with exercises.
On the day of the evaluation we made a multigrafied exam that would be corrected by a random student in the classroom after giving the results.
Of course the exam was done with a pen to ensure that the answers were not deleted.
This teacher used his own experiences to give the class what made that class entertaining and unforgettable so that the class would be recorded in our minds. In this class there was a freedom so great that the student enjoyed it to the maximum achieving excellent punctuation in the subject
