Experience is the best teacher. I have a long way to
go in my career as a lecturer. There are so many things to do and one of them
is to improve my teaching skills. I learn a lot from my own experience as a
lecturer. I keep on asking my students to give their comments on my teaching
and the way I have conducted my class. These comments help me a lot in
improving my teaching. I used to keep all the feed backs, run through everything
and try to accommodate their suggestions. I equally learn from other experience
especially my seniors.
Learning is a
lifetime effort
Everyone must believe in this. Lecturers in
particular must be at the frontline of
this effort. Otherwise, we will be a Jurassic lecturer. Apart from attending
professional conferences, I will participate in courses that would enhance my
professional value. I should not be seen as someone normal, but I like to be
seen as extraordinary. I have to think big. Whenever opportunity occurs, I will
try not to miss any of it. By this, I will be able to also guide my students to
think out of the box.
Through
research and development activities
Research will increase the depth of knowledge and
level of expertise. Through research work, in essence, I will be able to
understand better why a certain scenario happened in a given manner. Whenever
new issues arise, certainly, the challenge to formulate relevance solution
would come into picture. By that it is not only must we be able to work in a
scientific manner but we must also be able to exercise a good amount of
creativity. In doing so also new methods could be rediscovered. I am sure we
can be a better teacher.
Publications
Publications is one of the best means of putting our
knowledge, findings and analysis in a structured manner. It also served as a
sharing medium with our counterparts and colleagues from all over the world who
may share the same interests. It is a good medium of exchange of knowledge and
findings. That would certainly help me in my understanding over a new matter.
