Procedure:

  • One important thing in teaching the class is your professionalism. You should be professional in your teaching. You should get to the level of the student and then give them the concepts. In this way they will be able to learn more quickly. Do not try to teach them according to your level. Instead make it easy for them to learn. Also be well prepared for the lesson you have to deliver to the students. You should also be able to answer each and every question that is raised in the class. For that purpose you can prepare for every possible question that can be extracted out of your lecture.

  • Another thing of much importance is to avoid making your lecture dull and boring for the students. This problem can be solved if you enjoy teaching. When you’ll enjoy the lecture you are giving, you’ll feel fresh throughout the lecture. Also the lecture will become more effective in this way. This can also help in making your students’ mood good. As you are enjoying the lecture, they will also be enjoying it.
  • Try to make your lecture interesting. You can add some incidences from your everyday life. This will add interest and spice to your lecture. To develop more interest in students you can about their experiences regarding the topic of the lecture. This will grasp their attention towards the topic and they will not get bored either.
  • Here comes the most important thing. You should be capable of transferring the knowledge to your students. This is very important task in teaching any subject. If a teacher is very competent but cannot pass his knowledge on to his students, he is useless. Remember, in psychology class most of the students come to learn about human brain.
