                                             College Teachers

 Summary

There are three categories of college teachers. They are positive teachers, neutral teachers and negative teachers.

The positive teachers are small in number. They are the most agreeable teachers. The teachers of this category are interested in the subject matter and the students. They try to learn all of the students’ names, they allow for questions and discussions in class. They also do not mind if students disagree with them. They are available for conferences and they encourage students to meet in the office if there is need for help. With such teachers students feel comfortable.

The neutral teachers are not very agreeable. Comparatively, they are not seen interested in the subject or the students. They do not know all the students’ names but may learn few. Their classes are boring than the positive teachers because they allow less time for discussion and questions. They are also available for the conferences but they do not encourage the students to meet in the office for their help.

By name the negative teachers are the least agreeable. They are dreadful to the students.  The neither know the students’ names not help them outside the classroom. They are almost hostile in and outside the classroom. They give lectures; but there is no chance for questions, discussions and conferences for the students. They are not available in the office for students’ help. Such teachers are doubly boring than the neutral teachers. They are mechanical and inflexible teachers in fact.

Theme

The writer‘s opinion is that the amount of learning depends on the methods and behaviors of the teachers.
