Skills I use and how I developed them
Research skills
- Lecturers cannot stop studying. We need to keep an eye on current issues in the field that we teach and also other relevant fields. We need to take the initiative in every possible aspects, know how to raise a research question, decide the methodology and make a discussion as well as use this piece of work to contribute something to the wider public (this is the part that the sponsors look for).
Communication and interpersonal skills
- Lecturers must be able to transfer information to students. Yes, that's the basic job and we need to encourage to think about this information critically.
Those skills can be developed through participation in classes as well as through internship and other extracurricular activities.
What I like most
I get to meet new people (students) every year. They also teach me how to deal with all sorts of people and to respect others.
It's such a great moment to see one of a student who generally sat in the corner of the room become a grown-up and mature person and finally get a job.
What I like least
Bureaucratic nature of the organisation.
