Feedback Logistics

    Nobody is perfect. Every human being make mistake at some point of life, either knowingly or unknowingly. However, according to my believe "A genius is the one who does maximum number of mistakes and learn from each while fools do not".

    It is necessary to understand, assess and analyze those mistakes and take appropriate action not to repeat, which enable us to improve. I do not wish to fall in the category of fools. Therefore, need to figure out my mistakes and analyze it, re-analyze and improve.


    I am not a born "Teacher", however, wish to be a better one, a better human being. I hope you will help me to list out my mistakes to improve upon myself and eradicate my mistakes. Please analyze my teaching method critically, be ruthless to evaluate so that I get an opportunity to improve myself. This is an on-line "feedback" forum for you all, about my teaching, personality and accessibility. The feedback contents are entirely on me, my teaching method and for me.

    Feedback: Sir, your classes were really nice. You have taught many new things to us. Every one can do mathematics. But you have taught us how to extract the information from a mathematical equation. This is the part, which I enjoyed most during the classes.^M Just one thing that I feel you can improve is that you can spent some more time on integral transformation part, Since this part is new for any 5th semester student.

I like the way you clarify the concepts from the zero level. I am much thankful for your guidance and help. However sometimes I really feel the need of a lab room of your own.

    Feedback: Sir, the presentation of the course Mathematical Physics-II was very appreciable throughout the session. It was good and there is a scope to understand the theories in depth. The only thing I felt is that after the midterm exam the course seemed a bit vast and few things could not be understood in depth as earlier, and the reason for this I think is that topics in the syllabus throughout the semester was not evenly covered. Apart from this classes were good.

    Feedback: I have attended your classes on CMP and statistical mechanics. I really enjoyed the statistical mechanics course . There are lot of good qualities like your knowledge , mathematical command on the subject is admirable. Since it is a feedback ,without sugarcoating further I want to tell you some of the things I would like you see you improve.^M ^M 1 .At the beginning of the course if you are not satisfied with the background knowledge of students you tend to start from very basic level , though it is a good gesture on your part you lose a lot of time. Believe the students that they can manage this by themselves with some motivation .^M ^M 2 .Secondly you end up giving lecture on a very different topic then you started with sometimes for the above reason . ^M ^M 3. Maintain a good pace , authority over the students and a smile on your face.^M ^M 4. About the evaluation process , your questions are very different then most of teachers , students are not used to this kind of problem solving approach . It took me semester to realise that I better go to your exam with an approach to express myself then to worry about grads , I feel that others will also help with this approach . In the later semester I realise that you don't want some ready made ans in the name of problem solving so my request is to give them more time in exam . Basically give them permission to make mistakes and take your exams as a fun . They have more chance to do well if they take it lightly . Award them for there approach them the end result.^M ^M 5. "Teaching is a area where you will do well if you pretend to care about students - (Sheldon Cooper from big bang theory ) . Some of the students may see you as their enemy and try to convince their friends , don't let that to happen . I don't know how can one possibly do that but with a smile you can go a long way .^M ^M 6. Don't repeat everything you said in your class unless you want students to see the same thing in a different way . This will make students more attentive and it may sometimes break your flow of thinking as well .^M ^M 7. Set clear goal what you want to achieve in one class , otherwise you get carried away by some question (sometimes stupid) from students. ^M ^M 8. one of the most admirable quality is your work ethics . Once I saw your notebook and realise this guy must work very hard to prepare or may be it was your notebook from your study days.^M ^M I hope that you take my criticism constructively . Though I am pretending to be an expert on what I am taking about . I am not going to take anymore of your subjects (as it stands now), I wish you a very bright future^M ^M P.S ( I have memble so much because I don't know how to write a feedback but I want you to do well)^M ^M ^M ^M Cheers

    Feedback: Sir, first of all, i would like to thank you for putting all the hard work for us. Almost all the topics were covered and we were provided the time to revise them(which was possible because of the painful extra classes) but sir, certain concepts still bounced over me. Those, according to me, were a bit tricky concepts and there was a communication gap between you and us. Otherwise, I found the course very useful and informative.

    Feedback: Respected Sir, as a teacher you are really brilliant but I think you should try some new techniques for teaching. Make sure that as a teacher your aim must not to teach the brilliant students but also consider the average students. Students must enjoy learning. Theory must be linked with practical and above all believe that as engineering students you must first raise the question of 'WHY PHYSICS?'. I believe that you will introduce this new idea. At last thank you for being such a supportive teacher. ^M Recently I visited an international conference to present a paper in IIT Ghy and here I could understand the importance of Physics in the research community. You just can't escape it.

    Feedback: Sir, I remember you taught us when we were in the 2nd semester. You are a teacher with great personality. I don't know whether you taught good or bad but I remember you gave all of us 95% attendance, which shows your kind heartness. One question, Do your father work/worked in the Department of Economics and Satistics under govt. of Assam? Keep teaching and make our students feel the real physics. It's a great and vast subject which you are involved in. If you can make the students actual human being with good knowledge of physics with great humanity then you are the real hero of Tezpur University. Always support the students both mentally and academically who have the talents in extra curricular activities besides studies. At last all the best for your future as a teacher and a good human being.

    Feedback: Hello, Sir! In the first place, I'm thankful for all your genuine endeavor to ensure our learning, from providing us materials to study to taking extra classes. I really liked your extra classes last semester, though I think it will be a little tiresome for us if you decide to take 3 extra classes per week. Assignments were also really helpful to establish our concepts. However, when the number of assignments was too many, we ended up searching the answers on the internet instead of doing it ourselves. Now, most importantly, your way of teaching is very clear to understand and the pace of teaching is good enough to go along with for me. Finally, I want to thank you once again for being our teacher.

    Feedback: Dear Sir, regardless of whichever course that you have been teaching, your presentation skills are appreciable. You always present your talks in a somewhat orderly manner so students can understand easily, plus you are always eager to clear any doubts we have. As far as the course Statistical Mechanics is concerned, I have been really enjoying the course of which I was afraid at first and regardless of how I have been doing in examinations; as you may know, I am really poor when it comes to scoring in tests and examinations (due to participation in extra curricular activities of our university). Sir, it is clear from the manner in which you have been teaching that you give so much effort for the sake of students so that we can learn something. In case of the question format in examinations, it is very difficult for me to score mainly due to my much poor effort in studies (one of the main reasons is participation in extra curricular activities which ultimately leads to very less time for studies due to our mandatory attendance rules for class and lab schedules) ; and also the quality of questions you give in examinations. That really helps the students who have good cgpa to upgrade their manner of studying( for higher studies,etc.). However, poor and mediocre students like me are not able to grasp everything and it is therefore likely that we do not score well. Assignments are the only "easy" means to score average good marks other than examinations. So, I request you Sir, to please give assignments for the IIIrd Test whenever possible. Moreover, the questions you give in examinations can be given in case of assignments which would be very much beneficial and helpful as we would get time and resources to solve and also at the same time learn about the subject.

    Feedback: Sir, Assignment instead of test will be very much helpful for us. Solving assignment will give us more conceptual basis to deal with several types of problems including competitive exam types. It's good of you that you're concerned about treating the subject more deeply and more fundamentally. The syllabus is very much big for to complete within 1 semester. Still most of the things are covered now precisely. Your hardwork before the class is highly appreciable. I think extra classes would be helpful
