I always remember one of my physics professor during my BSc days. Prof
Mukherjee, the learning experience with him I always cherish and wish
we had many like him. His method of teaching was not just lecturing,
he used to select few students in the calss, ask them to come prepared
on a topic, then he used ask questions. Those who were regular and
were able to answer indicating their preparations he used to continue
with them. I very fadely remember the way he was once questioning...
what if there are thousands of ants around a football, where will it
move, the answer came from one of us .. nowhere sir; he was excited as
this was leading to proving the gas equation PV=RT, and you should be
presnt on such occassions where you find that you have proven such
theory yourselve. It generated lot of interest in physics. Of-course
after completing my BSc I did my Engineering in Electronics &
Communication.
We need to encourage learning by question-answer, at any point
whether it is educational institution or work place; such methods
definitely makes a person more strong in the subject; of-course it is
quite tough for both the teacher/mentor as well the student/learner
but is helpful
