Professor Farooq Shamsuzzaman

Council Member

Aspirations

A vibrant platform to debate on educational issues to help the community to introspect and the University to adopt appropriate policy measures that will encourage us to become better educators.

Teaching Strengths

  • Equal importance to teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate modules,  and mentoring of research students.
  • Irrespective of the class size, I ask questions to stimulate the students to think and to show inter- and intra- modular interconnectedness of knowledge and information.
