Taking Simple Lesson
• When you sit and watch experienced lecturers take hold of the class, you are seeing magic in action.
• They make every thing look so easy and smooth that you wonder .: “ were they born with the ability to teach?”
We asked ourselves
• When can I perform like him? • How long does he takes to perfect this act.• What must I do to gain the student
commitment seen in the class.• Who can mentor me?• When should I start ?
