As a teacher the truth that students have taught me is
1. If the students know that your genuine as a teacher in your efforts of delivering your subject , the students give their life to you and will do anything to you.
2. Never use students as a faculty for your own benefit of research. That hurts the student and demotivates them to get into the field of research. In the pretext of learning it is done. This shouldn't be done.
3. Information is available at the tip of the fingers for students. What sets you apart as a teacher is going that extra mile to give students what they don't know than what they know and can get from the internet.
4. Students expect that little care, understanding and the patience to listen to them and understand their views. Give them that space to express themselves . As faculty it's our duty not to misunderstand the care and love the student has for the teacher. A lot of them as faculty think ' for degree the student is loving me, since the student is nice to me , let me see if I can use the student for research , for getting more internals the student is coming to me' .. no not always. This is the wrong approach. And once the student knows that the teacher has misunderstood them, they will never look back to you ever again . Be nice to students and understand them as faculty .
5. Never let an ego come saying " I'm the teacher, and you need to listen to me as I am the teacher. I am not a friend to you, I am a teacher and a facilitator . This is a wrong approach . Learning is a two way process. As teachers even we learn from students. Students will give you 10 times more quality in research if you as a faculty give them credit, encourage them and make them understand what they will learn.
6. As faculty I know all of you will understand that research is a process where one keeps learning continuously. The students especially at the masters level teach you this " give us the space and medium to learn, we will deliver. At the same time, don't use us, we will do the work assigned but we know what's right and wrong, be friendly with us and give us the freedom to come to you as your the teacher, no matter how friendly a teacher student is, as a student we know the line we need to draw when we are talking to a teacher"
7. Never put students down. Never spill words as a faculty to the student. It can make or break the student and trust me they will never come back to you.
Love students and they remain with you for life . When they are successful at the end of the day, when a student comes back to you and says " mam/sir, thank you for making me to what we are today", that one line gives immense satisfaction as a teacher.
As a teacher, never distance yourself from students. Just because they are done with a semester or with a course doesn't mean that they forget you or you forget them. A little remembrance, a little love, a little compassion , a little hearing is what a student needs beyond the framework of giving the subject to them and clarifying their doubts on subject .
