My Favourite Lecturer

Each lecturer has its own style, techniques, and strategy to the lesson. Also, different students prefer different types of lecturers and as the saying is “there is no disputing about tastes”. However, it is obvious that lecturer who uses right techniques of teaching will be popular with the majority of students and vice versa also true. Every person during his life was in a huge number of lectures, starting from school lessons and ending with scientific seminars. Some of them make bright impression and a person will remember them for a long time. I am not exception and I have my favorite lecturers.
One of them is Mister X. He has taught me physics only during 9th grade but I still remember how enthusiastically attended his lectures. I never liked physics before his lectures, because I didn’t like a lot of formulas which you should remember and I think that using only them you can solve the problems. Lectures were also boring. The monotonous voice of teacher and a lot of naked facts about some topic were only things which I got at the end of each lectures. Mister X was my teacher but the topic of this essay is “My favorite lecturer” and unfortunately I will not write about his practical lessons.
As I wrote in the previous paragraph I presented physics as the science about naked facts and formulas. But from Mister X’s lectures I started understand the origins of those things and from that point they didn’t seems to me like naked facts or formulas. I understand that everything complex in physics-based on fundamental simple phenomena. After his lectures I haven’t to remember formulas I can derive them by myself. It was wonderful for me because I never like to remember and I started to think that remembering without understanding bases of something is not best way to gain new knowledge.

Yes, it takes less time than looking inside of something, but also you remember them only for short period of time. Second difference of his lectures was way of explaining lectures. It was not a monotonous voice, carefully written formulas in blackboard or synopsis from book. He distinctly highlights key points, gives examples from real life and visualizes a lot of things. His pictured cars were different in every lecture. He can draw a little car, write “Zhiguli” at the bottom and say: “Teacher from school drives car with velocity 50km/h”.
Next he can draw a big car, write “Ferrari” and say: “Son of some office-holder drives Ferrari with velocity 120km/h” and gave information about physical problem itself. It was very funny for class and immediately attracts attention of all students. I described only some of his techniques used during lectures. He had full arsenal techniques and he can easily create a great atmosphere in the classroom. Of course I cannot convey atmosphere of the lesson here, but believe me it was fascinating and memorable.
