You can tell a lot about a person from their body. For the past several decades researchers have been studying the ways in which the body reveals properties of the mind. An important subset of this work has taken this idea a step further: do the ways our bodies relate to one another tell us about the ways in which our minds relate to one another?
Consider behavioral mimicry. Many studies have found that we quite readily mimic the nonverbal behavior of those with whom we interact. Furthermore, the degree to which we mimic others is predicted by both our personality traits as well as our relationship to those around us. The relationship between our bodies reveals something about the relationship between our minds.
The bulk of this research has made use of clever experimental manipulations involving research assistant actors. The actor crosses his legs and then waits to see if the participant crosses his legs, too. More naturalistic evidence for this phenomenon has been much harder to come by. That is, to what extent do we see this kind of nonverbal back and forth in the real world and to what extent does it reveal the same properties of minds that seem to hold true in the lab?

The University of Baltimore — and as a city once home to Edgar Allan Poe, how fitting — offers a course in zombie studies. Centering on literature, film and so on. Our whole world has become too politically correct. When the teacher does not keep an eye on students and only speaks or dictates, the students become relaxed and start to yawn.
Students may also not follow the language of the teacher or his accent. For example, if the teacher is speaking in English while most students are more comfortable in Urdu, students will not be able to follow the lecture. To prevent this, many things can be done by teachers as well as students. Firstly, a teacher should know how to create interest in the topic he or she is teaching.
Because if he makes even a boring topic seems interesting, no one will sleep for sure. Class participation is the most significant solution of this problem. If a teacher encourages students' participation in the class and asks questions regarding the topic to get them involved, this problem can be overcome to a great extent.
Teacher should engage discussions, presentations and other things that can draw the attention of students and get them involved in the lecture.
