Question: What is your favourite part about lecturing and why do you love it?

Shanti Shanker answered on 6 Nov 2018:

Recently, I gave my students a lecture on Memory and Forgetting. One student came up to me and said, I really never liked this topic from A level and was not keen to sit in the lecture, but I sat through it. Today, your lecture made me realise this topic is fun and you took time to answer all my questions and repeat things I did not understand. This lecture has changed my perception to Memory and I am really looking forward to reading more – this one example made my week which was busy preparing for teaching and applying for grants. This is why I love it when lectures can spark an ahAhh moment in my students…brings a smile to me!
