Teaching

What makes a good teacher? The problem is you dont know what makes a good teacher until further down the line.

Yesterday the FM went to a tutorial on bowel obstruction. As in most tutorials the FM was asked a question. Unlike most tutorials FM was able to answer said question and answer it well with a nice structure. Structure is good, as the examiner will hopefully be impressed by your thought process

And this is all because of teaching received twenty months ago by somebody she didn't know at all. The teaching came flooding back and the FM was able to regurgitate it back. This was because said teacher actually looked like he wanted to be there and simpified everything into a nice, simple way.

So what does make a good teacher?

Structure and enthusiasm.
