Life itself is a best teacher. Because it teaches you by experience and exposure.

Hi Karthikeyan, what is the deeper sense of such a question? Cheers, Nadine

My best teacher was my mother (Marly Dutra Folly - in memorian), because she had the patience to teach me to read and write my first words. Who teaches us how to read and write is who puts our future in our hands, because everything depends on this.

Hi Cyril, it may be interesting for you that - initiated by your question - immediately two names came into my mind. And both were BULGARIAN names.

* Prof. E. Philippow: He was a very good teacher for electrotechnics,

* Dr. Janneff: I met him during my first years as an engineer at AEG/Telefunken.

He was able to demonstrate how one could combine technical aspects with management and fairness. He really was a model of solidarity, straightforwardness and reserve.

Lutz, I would only correct you that the question was asked by Prof. Ramalingam but I would ask it with a great pleasure as well...

The best teacher in my life... I am trying to remember who is this teacher scrolling the film of the time... Sorry I don't know these remarkable Bulgarians working in Germany but I have a remembrance for my teacher on the subject of Digital Circuits from the late 70's (his name was Dimitriev; he was married to a German, and when the "wind of change" began to blow in Bulgaria, he emigrated to Germany). It is interesting that he tried to show the evolution of diode-transistor logic (DTL) gates into transistor-transistor logic (TTL) gates but what is more interesting, I (about 23-year-old) had no interest and was even a little irritated from these lengthy explanations:) And what is most interesting is that now, after more than 30 years, I try to do the same with my students... and maybe they are bored like me then:)

Cyril, sorry - I don`t know how it could appear that I I have assumed YOU were the questioner. But - doesn`t matter.

I must confess, I was NEVER fascinated from digital techniques and systems - although many analog aspects are involved (rise and fall times, delay, parasitics,...).

Lutz

Lutz, like you I am facinated only by the analog (circuit) aspects of the fundamerntal digital circuits... During these two weeks in the laboratoy (the first lab cycle), I frequently say to my students that there are not digital circuits; they are just analog circuits forced to act as digital (discrete) circuits...

All my chemistry and maths teachers! If I had to single one out then it would be a Dr Pearson who was my favourite chemistry teacher from Bristol Grammar School but really there were many others looking back who all made their impact in their various ways. I remember one laboratory for a dare putting a french fire cracker in a bunsen flame, Dr P gave me a right bollocking for it (literally turned red with anger!) and rightly so but it never stopped him from motivating and inspiring me in both theory and the laboratory. Happy times!

Hi, can you please answer my question Karthikeyan Ramalingam? Thanks, Nadine

Dear All, Thanks you so much for all you input.

Dear Gund,

I want involve extensive teaching, so I am collection different opinion on teaching and teacher.

Hi, and this answer will help you to involve extensive teaching? How can these answers help you? If you'd ask of teaching techniques I would have understood this... I am waiting for further explanations. Cheers, Nadine

Ramalingam was your question aimed at knowing the names of the teachers that people consider were the best in their respective lives or you wanted to know the attributes that made those teachers the best?

I think I liked those teachers the most who were good at communicating, fair in their dealing and had positive, respectful approach towards their students.

The ones who used correct linguistic structures, chose words with care and were neither misers nor waters when using words were my favorites. I somehow could never like the teachers who would talk too much or would repeat the same stuff too many times.

At higher levels of education the only thing that would impress me was the philosophical depth of knowledge, thought and expression of the teachers.

@Rauf: You didn't understand my question otherwise I didn't ask you but Karthikeyan Ramalingam. Cheers, Nadine

The teachers whom I would continue to remember their names, and parts of their classes - were the ones who challenged my way of thinking, who critically analyzed my submissions and provided some feedback... And those who enhanced my knowledge in the subject and beyond!

I do not want to give names here.

Regards

Theodora Issa

Question asked by Prof. Ramalingam, "Who the best teacher in your life and why?" is very nice question.

I request all the professor to share their experience on link given below...

@Nadine A. Gund what was the misunderstanding here?

My best teacher in my life - even when I had the luck to have many very, very good teachers - was Prof. Wolfram Menschick.

A great teacher is one a student remembers and cherishes forever. Teachers have long-lasting impacts on the lives of their students, and the greatest teachers inspire students toward greatness. My best teacher in my life is my mother.

A good teacher challenges students to think for themselves; they empower them by giving them the skills to search appropriate literature, discover relevant sources of sound evidence and use the most relevant to construct logical arguments. I ask my students the 'so what question?' The so what question challenges students to justify what ever they say and what it adds to existing body of knowledge rather than accepting everything they read or hear.

Was this the type of answer you were looking for?
