The Perks of Being A Lecturer

Since I was a little girl, my mother always tell me to be a teacher. Her theory about being a teacher is the security and ample time you will have compare to other professions. Well these days, being an educator is not as easy as people always said.


I landed in Vision College because of my friend, Fahmi. So, here I am 8 months later. Through this period I have learnt a lot.


First day at work
I still remember my first week of teaching, how the students were staring at me and immediately I doubted myself. That was just scary and believe me, I can't feel my stomach even my voice was shaky. Since this is my first teaching experience, my first semester was a bumpy ride. For example, I forgot which week to hand in the exam papers and SAR.

As for the students, they come from vary backgrounds and need different approaches in learning. Most of the time, I need to simplified my lectures and ask them to repeat the points several times. They don't have vast schemata that can relates to what I am teaching. Explaining and teacher-students interaction are very important. For lazy or uninterested students, my solution is simple. It is either I threat them with low mark or scare them that they will fail the subject and end up repeat and pay for it.
