About C. S. Santhosh
Since the very beginning of the my teaching career, I have always believed and
followed the principal that a teacher is not just an aid to learning the syllabus to
students, a teacher is much more than that, a teacher plays various roles such as
Career Counsellor, Professional Guide, Mentor, Emotional support, Talent Promoter, Moral supporter etc., . Of course no teacher can be perfect and handle all such responsibilities as there are goals and ambitions for the teachers themselves such
research, publications and journey for greater knowledge and degrees.
I myself have all the above-mentioned things in mind and have tried to be as well-
rounded as possible. I have taken variant subjects in the coursework, have taken up
the holistic approach to teaching which includes not only audio visual aided
presentation, but live examples and practical applications of the concepts being
explained along with the concepts to increase the retention rate in students and also
enabling them to be prepared for the corporate world by learning the actual application of the concepts rather than just retaining book knowledge.
I do not believe in guiding only the students in my lecturers or helping students having me as their project guide. All the students of my college can and have leveraged my knowledge and guidance in various aspects of their college life. I have often stayed back after working or came in early to the college to help students with anything they have had trouble with. As a Subject Matter Expert myself in the concepts of Many Computer Science subjects which I have mentioned in my Profile(Resume), which I have submitted and I have guided multiple students from various branches( Computer Science and Computer Applications) on the same and the details of the projects guided with details have submitted in Students Project Guided list document.
I maintain a very friendly relationship with the students which enables them to be very open and come up to me with various question and without questions.
As I mentioned before the role of the teacher goes beyond academics, which is why I
have maintained very close associations and often play leading roles in our colleges
