How to Teach MBA Students

MBA students are those students who have admitted in any business school for doing MBA and your duty may be to teach them. At that time, you are surely interested to know "how to teach MBA students?" Every teacher has his own way to teach any class and any subject. But it is the quality of good teachers and professors that they always want to know new and new methods to teach not only MBA students but every class's students.

I am also teacher  and I have taught MBA students and many students have completed their MBA and are doing professional work. After teaching MBA students I got many ideas which I want to share in the content " how to teach MBA students."

1st Step 

Create good friendship with MBA students

After completing graduation, every student wants friendly environment of learning. On the other side, it is also need of time, teacher has to change his behavior and should become the friend due to the requirement of students. If teacher creates a good friendship with MBA students, it has following benefits :

  Good friendship with MBA students means good relationship. Students of MBA can take the help from teacher who is expert in his subject as help taken from best friend. I think this is the first rule to teach MBA students best way.

 After good friendship with MBA students, teacher can share his teaching experience informal way. He can teach not in classroom but in open ground or even in park or just in the front of laptop through Skype.

2nd Step

Do Research of Each and Every topic of MBA subject

This is the age of modernisation. MBA students have many other options also, if his business school teacher does not clear their doubts. He can take the help online, through coaching and through social network sites like facebook, linkedin and many more. So, today teacher has to change his attitude toward students. He should go to classroom after deep research of specific topic of MBA subject. He should read books, online search and also get idea how to develop the small concept and its related practical problems. Suppose, you have to teach finance, you have to check each and every website online what is total area of finance and collect the data relating to finance education as much as possible and also research good book shops  and purchase famous writer's finance books and read it, understand it, discuss it, write some important point from it and finally teach it to students.

3rd Step

Example, Example and Tell Example

All most all theory are read from books but teacher should has something extraordinary. Go to classroom and give example how to solve specific managerial problem practically. It is the way, you can not only teach to commerce students but also non -commerce students. You must explain the examples with logical and best interpretation. If you have some good presentation, graph and tutorials in PowerPoint, it can be helpful for student to understand the concept very clearly.

4th Step

Give Opportunity to Students  to Speak and Express their Views

It is my experience that in this world no one is perfect. Teacher is only person in the world who create the personality of student. Just Good wearing is not good personality of student, if he can not express and speak his views just front of any other. In this world, we have to present ourselves. Teacher should give opportunity to students to speak and express their views. Viva- Voce , communication the current matter on the stage are good way to give opportunity to students to speak and express their views.

5th Step

Practical Examination

To check the quality of MBA student is also part of teaching to MBA student. To write the paper and take the 3 hour examination is not good way to check the quality of MBA student. Suppose, student has learned 6 months from a teacher. Teacher should take examination every day after teaching and calculate the overall performance after six month. In many countries, this rule has started and one more technique is also famous for practical examination. To act the role of teacher is way to know the performance of student. Suppose, you have taught how to prepare the balance sheet of company to students. Now ask one of student, teach it to students or solve practical question of making the balance sheet with raw figures on whiteboard and to make understand the other students.

6th Step

Teaching of MBA is Easy than Teaching of Nursery Class

I always say to my MBA students that God has given me very easy work. My duty is just to teach MBA students  which is very easy than teaching of Nursery Class. I remembered, I had taught mathematics to 3rd class students in the beginning of my teaching career and faced many problems which I never faced in MBA class. If you are teaching MBA students, you should feel lucky that

a) You are just guide and your students act as teacher.

b) You have only to teach students to learn self.

c) No need to teach 9 hours. Teaching  just 9 minutes are sufficient.
