I think it's important to remember that each class consists of all different types of learners. I once had a professor tell me that I may not do well in a class because I didn't ask enough questions during class time. For me, I believe class time is an opportunity to take in and learn whatever information I can. I then go home and process it and use office hours or future class times for questions. I found this situation to be frustrating because I didn't feel as if the professor was taking into account my particular learning style. It is important to remember that each and every one of your students will have their own way of learning and processing the information that you are teaching them.
I think the issue of fairness is bigger than just fair grading. If I set high expectations for my students in the learning process, I do the same for myself in my teaching. If I want them to be excited about the subject I teach, I am excited about it myself. While I provide fair feedback to their performance as learners, I accept and always consider fair comments about my performance as a teacher.
