Mansur was very thorough and strict with his work. He ensured that everyone understood his
expectations. He followed unique method of teaching and expected everyone to cooperate. He
offered little room for discussion about the exam and tests. He set the rules and everyone
followed.
Hussein was a very nice lecturer who always engaged the students in and out of class. He
discussed with the students the most convenient time to hold lectures and even gave students a
chance to explain their areas of difficulty before exams to help them in their revision.
Norman on the other hand encouraged students to learn through presentations. He could give
questions and students would be expected to research and make presentations for the class. He
would then give tests that would be marked and graded by fellow students.
