The funny thing for me is when students make such prolonged eye contact that *I* get uncomfortable. What I mean is, we tell them that they need to make eye contact when doing presentations or giving speeches. But we don't always give them enough time to practice it, so it often feels forced. And, when the students are giving presentations in class, they often consider the teacher to be the only legitimate audience member. Result: eye contact. Unwavering, unblinking, eye contact for the duration of their performance. Teacher beware, I guess!?
