A Visit to My Mentor’s Class

Abstract

I got a new method and a new language of teaching and learning in one of my

PhD supervisors or mentor’s classes at the University of Norway. I, an international student, was inquisitive to know how my mentor would organize her class, teach and interact with her students. I was excited. I asked my friend to join me. He did. As soon as we reached the place, I saw her with her colleagues and students having snacks. She welcomed us. While having snacks, I wondered whether they begin every class with snacks. Later I came to know that unlike our classroom culture, they start the session with some food and coffee. After snacks, she took us into her class.
