Teaching Methodology

1. I prefer to teach the difficult topic into sub-topics and then teach it in an easy way by taking examples. First I discuss the application related to a particular concept to arouse interest in the students. Then I discuss the concepts in detail and numerical based on the concepts. I always emphasize that it is necessary to learn the first principles in Physics in a deeper manner. I prefer to keep the class interactive from both sides so that students can openly bring their points and doubts for clarification.
I like to ask questions during class sessions so that they grasp the topics properly.

2. To summarize a topic it takes 30 to 40 minutes.
