Answer 1

1.) Every teacher has a particular way of teaching in class. Experienced teachers must have tried many techniques to teaching and then sticked to the best and comfortable one. There are few teachers who used a method of teaching in class which I liked specially in science class. Let's take for example that the chapter taught was about human brain.

Firstly the teacher would come in and warm up herself and the students by making some jokes or any small talks. Then she would give the introduction about the subject or lesson which she was going to teach. Should would break the entire topic to various small sections for better understanding. She then would show an image of the topic she was teaching like in this case, the human brain. She would then with the help of image show each and every part of it and its uses. Then at the end she gives a conclusive summary about the topic and would ask for any queries. After solving queries, she would give questions of her own and not from the exercise of book. She would give questions to answer at home on the topic she just taught. This way, at home while finding the answers to the questions, students will again go through the chapter and understand the concept more clearly.

2.) Recently, I learned the subject Political science. As per my personal experience, listening and taking notes during the lectures help a lot. Proper note making can help for the future references also while studying the topic again.

Studying the key concepts of the subject can also be very helpful. Like in political science, I understood the basic concepts like sovereignty, development, rights, law and policies, etc. Then by doing homework and studying basic materials, we get a closer understanding. We can also get more information from various websites about the chapter.

Few hindrances to this were, sometimes when too much is there to learn and that can be stressful and tiresome. Sometimes, we don't find appropriate illustrations for a particular topic. And other distractions like social media, friends, phone, video games are also there. Sometimes, there is a lack of proper resources, like there is only little information in the book, so we don't understand the concept clearly. And sometimes, we find it hard to manage time and our study schedules.
