1.Excellent
2.The teacher interacts with students. His lectures are interesting to listen.
3.Class discussions are actively stimulated during lecture times. He is very approachable for consulation. Once, I missed a lecture because I was held back during an extended discussion with another lecturer. When I approached Dr. Kan the next day to discuss some stuff, he readily gave a concise summary of the lecture which I've missed. He used online forums to hold further discussions + monitor the forums regularly too. Gave us opportunity to practice writing a critical survey paper.
