  22. Few Words on Lecture Notes The students have to registrar in the site- http://emrulmahmud.weebly.com From the site students can download the lecture notes.

  23. Lesson…… To Educe means to bring out a potential existence. Education, therefore, is a process of intellectual growth. A student must be curious, open-minded, reflective, strategic, skeptical, and must learn for deep understanding. It is therefore, my cardinal duty as an educator to provide the conditions in which my students can learn to become what they want to be.

  24. Lesson…… Formal education must teach you how to think. The hard facts you learn are secondary to that. Education is not how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It is being able to differentiate between what you know and what you do not.

  25. Lesson…… The big thing you take away from institution is how to induct and deduct in a constructive way. The object of education is to prepare the students to educate themselves throughout their lives.

  26. Lesson…… Critical thinking, self-examination, and the questioning of assumptions are all widely genuflected to as part of any good education. I do provide such an environment and strive to make critical and protracted thinking plausible for my students. This means that students are active participants of creating knowledge and developing skills rather than passive recipients of information.

  27. Lesson…… Students appreciate a teacher who gives them something to take home to think about besides homework. One often forgets what one was taught. However, one only can make use of what one has learnt.

  28. Lesson…… All the interest of education should come together to make students responsible decision makers. My highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who, of themselves, are able to give purpose and direction to their lives. It is the ability to decide for yourself and the responsibility for making a self for yourself; the educator is merely a mid-wife in this process.

  29. Questions • What do you think will happen? • What do you think should happen? • How will these things affect business?
