Dr. Yasir Rehman, PhD, MD, M.Sc.
Position(s): Professor
“Teaching and presentation are two important aspects of the learning. If you don’t know how to present/ disseminate knowledge, you can’t teach and if you don’t know how to teach, you can’t disseminate knowledge. If something is challenging or difficult to understand, trying to change its meaning and seeing it through a different lens often helps with learning. Learning is always bi-directional; you cannot be a good teacher if you don’t learn from your students. Finally, success is always contingent to respect and eagerness to learn”.
