Regarding theoretical teaching experience, lecturers shared many effective methods and necessary procedures for an effective lesson such as: taking attendance, checking carefully whether the equipment is complete before starting the lesson; starting a new lesson with a real-life situation to create curiosity and excitement for students first; always asking questions (probing deep issues) to help students deeply understand the lesson right in class; after each content, students will be prompted to draw their own key words of a problem; to help students remember the nature and characteristics of the problem; giving homework to students to help students remember the lesson longer. Students are required to grasp the theory and lessons right in class, and to learn to the point, to be sure.

Dr. Tran Van Le highly commends and encourages good students.

In addition to methods to ensure effective teaching of content, the format of the lecture is also a key factor in determining whether the lecture is attractive and engaging or not.
