The primarily responsibility is of course to teach Social Psychology and ensure successful transfer of knowledge. Social Psychology is a fascinating topic that covers how and why individuals behave, think, and feel as they do in various situations that involve other people. For instance, we discuss a variety of topics such as the role that groups play in our own decision making and even the extent to which our emotions influence the way other's perceive us. In order to provide the best learning environment I developed a structured syllabus, which included the lesson plan and assignments. Throughout the course, I utilize a variety of techniques and instructional methodology to capture the student's interest and retain course relevancy. Additionally, throughout the week I keep the students informed regarding his/her progress by conducting lively discussions, issuing writing assignments, and monthly examinations. Other responsibilities include compiling, administering, and grading instruments that evaluate the student's progress and counsel as well as encourage students to succeed, provide a safe learning environment.
