IIT Professor

It has been a long time now but even today when I remember my school and college days, some teachers come to mind. Maybe they are the great teachers of my life. When teachers make lessons interesting and memorable, children become more engaged and eager to learn.

When a teacher’s communication skill is good, he naturally attracts the attention of the students in his own way. No matter how many children are there in the class, everyone feels that this teacher is talking to me only.

I remember my 9th class Physics teacher who had a very good grasp on that subject. Whatever topic he taught, he would first explain it by giving examples and would take punches from the students for tricks related to that topic.

So there is a interactive session in which all the students would go deep into the topic and think about it and got a chance to explain their point of view. Then when he would start teaching, everyone would already know the concept.

I was once very excited to attend a conference because a professor from India’s top technical institute (IIT) was going to teach a topic on calculus. He started the topic and went very deep while explaining things.

No doubt he is an extraordinary genius but maybe any student in the hall understood what he taught. Because he was lost in his own world of mathematics, he did not have any interaction with the students, nor was there clarity in his voice.
