Teaching is an important component of my academic involvement. However, I was excited before starting the teaching profession. It was a dream for me to deliver lecture in a class. However, I was also intimidated just before starting the class as an Assistant Professor at Vidyasagar Evening College. Although, I have taken M.Sc. classes during my Ph.D. tenure under the scheme “Earn while you Learn”. During my Ph.D. at University of Calcutta, I have taken class of advance M.Sc. students having few in number. From the first day in the Vidyasagar Evening College, I became aware that, I have to develop skill and technique to give the best I know about the subject.
