What kind of lecturer would you love?:-
- A Fast Speed Lecturer
A fast speed lecturer would teach anything they need to finish for the day so that they would be able to cover their syllabus within the located time period. Looking at it somehow I dont like it either, but I think it would make the student awake. I would try myself to undersatand what they try to deliver eventhough I might confuse myself. Sometimes I would end up copying everything leave the understanding behind. But at least there are something I got.
- A One-by-One type
A) Some teacher would teach each and every single point to the students. Everything they know would be on the board. It is a privillage for the students who study for the knowledge itself instead of study for the sake of exam itself. Even sometimes it might end up in confusing the students. I remembered when I used to study physics, my teacher would write everything he knew and I would like 'terlopong', amazed by the knowledge he has. He could apply every theory we learn and give an example close to ourself, and each students would automatically say 'ooohhh' (Malaysian typical style). He made me fall in LOVE with Physics, Thank You Mr Hasram.
B) Another style one-to-one teacher would speak one by one. He make sure that the students would understand everything he tried to deliver. I thought it was great. But somehow my thought change last week. I have a lecturer observed our tutorial and I love how his style of teaching. He explained each and everything we need to know. Then last week he entered our class to replace our sick lecturer, then my thought change. When he conducted the class with the same technique he use in the tutorial. I found it a little bit boring and he bring our sleepy eyes. I tried to be in the same wavelength but somehow I couldnt. And right then I wish if he could be a little faster.
- A visualised Lecturer
There is another type of lecturer I found interesting. A lecturer that could make the students see what the theory is all about. They would bring anything that could help him or they would try to make us visualize it in our own way. My Applied Math lecturer would bring stuff like boxes, ruler and even an umbrella as the model (How can umbrella be use, you might think) He put the umbrella in his shirt and tied them up at his head. Imagine the umbrella orthogonal to the x-plane and the line would change by bending the body. Wow I amazed at the spirit he has to make us understand it like he did. Wow, You are GREAT Dr. Philips and Alastair. While my pure math lecturer, would make me visualize it on our own. He would make any 'gaya' to make it clear. And he would teach us like he also dont know it, and make us think properly. Imagine you have this, then under this circumstances you cant have this and you should have this.
- A theoretical lecturer
A full of teory lecture might seem boring to some people. Write every theory without explaining anything. First, Theory one, OK now we move to next theorem. Understand it and try to picture it with the theory given. That sort of thing.
