About My First Student.
When our Lecturer became my first Student.
1997 (July – November)
In 1992-95, I have done my Graduation BSc
Degree in the SCh College, Maddirala.
In this College, Prof. Phaniraj K V was a Lecturer for Electronics
Subject. He was one of the best Lecturer
in this College, and also a great Adviser.
After my BSc Degree study, I went to
the RVR & JC College of Engineering, Guntur; for studying MCA
(1995-98). I was in contact with our
Lecturer Prof. Phaniraj; and met him frequently, during my College
Holidays.
He took Library Books in his Account from
the SCh College; and given to me for Study. In this way, he had helped me many times,
during my MCA Study.
Prof. Phaniraj is having a habit of reading Books, other
than his teaching Subject Electronics; during College Holidays.
In 1997, during my MCA Final Year, Prof.
Phaniraj asked me, as “Are you familiar in the C-Language ?”. Then, I said “We are very good in
understanding the C-Language, because of our Computer Science Subject Lecturer
Prof. MadhaveeLata.”. Then he
said “Can you explain C-Language for me ?”. It indicates his simplicity and learning
hobby. Then I smiled by listening to his
request, and felt very happy. I said
“Sure Sir. It’s a great opportunity for
me”.
We have selected certain Days and Time, for
the Classes; based on our (both) Time availability in Holidays.
: 1st Day : 1st Class :
1st Student :
I have gone through the C-Language
Text Book, and ready for the Class.
I went to Prof. Phaniraj Home, to
give the Class.
It was a 1st Class for me
as a Teacher; and our great Lecturer was my 1st
Student.
He was ready for the Class, with a Text
Book and a Note Book; and made simple arrangements (Chairs, Table,
and few white Papers).
I took the Text Book; and started
explaining the Topics. He took the Note
Book; and noting the important Points. I
have given explanation, on white Papers; whenever required.
It was really a great feeling for me; as I was
able to give a Class to a Person, who is elder than me and also great Lecturer.
On completion of each Topic, I asked him,
for the Questions. Then, he mentioned his
Questions.
During the Classes, I have observed that he
has already read the Text Book earlier.
But he has listened to me carefully, and just asked me the Questions
related to the blanks (in Subject understanding).
By understanding his Questions, I have
given him a simple Example: Making
a Product from One-to-Many in Electronics (Subject point-of-view), is different
from Computer Science (Subject point-of-view).
That’s all, most of his Questions are
cleared. He understood easily, the
variation between each Topics (Statements and Control Statements; Arrays and
Structures).
As his understanding the Subject was fast,
we have completed the Classes in less number of Days.
*************************************************************************
After completion of my MCA Study, I
became a Lecturer for Computer Science Subject in SCh College,
where I was a Student earlier during my BSc Degree Study.
Then, our Lecturer Prof. Phaniraj
became a Colleague, in the same College.
In initial days of my Teaching carrier, he has
created a ‘Best Lecturer identity’ for me, by telling about my C-Language
Teaching. It helped me a lot; and
created a first impression in Students and (Teaching and Non-Teaching) Staff,
in the College. Otherwise, it might have difficult for me to get a first impression (Lecturer), in Students;
being a Physically Challenged Person.

Kudos to great Lecturers
Prof. Madhavi Lata N and Prof. Phaniraj K V.
