  The scope of this paper was to find out how the students in Computer Science
perceive different teaching styles and how the teaching style impacts the
learning desire and interest in the course. To find out, we designed and
implemented an experiment in which the same groups of students (86 students)
were exposed to different teaching styles (presented by the same teacher at a
difference of two weeks between lectures). We tried to minimize external
factors' impact by carefully selecting the dates (close ones), having the
courses in the same classroom and on the same day of the week, at the same
hour, and checking the number and the complexity of the introduced items to be
comparable. We asked for students' feedback and we define a set of countable
body signs for their involvement in the course. The results were comparable by
both metrics (body language) and text analysis results, students prefer a more
interactive course, with a relaxing atmosphere, and are keener to learn in
these conditions.
