Here\u2019s how I strive to behave and present myself:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.&nbsp;Professionalism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Punctuality<\/strong>: I make sure to arrive on time for all my lectures and meetings. I know that being punctual shows respect for my students\u2019 time and demonstrates discipline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dress Code<\/strong>: I maintain a neat and professional appearance, ensuring that my attire reflects the seriousness of my role while being appropriate and functional for teaching.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Communication Style<\/strong>: I use clear, respectful language in all interactions. I avoid any inappropriate or offensive remarks and remain mindful of the cultural and individual sensitivities of my students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.&nbsp;Respect for Students<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Listening Skills<\/strong>: I make it a point to be approachable and open to students&#8217; concerns, opinions, and feedback. I believe that showing empathy and understanding fosters a supportive classroom environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fair Treatment<\/strong>: I treat all students equally, regardless of their background, performance, or opinions. Fairness in grading, feedback, and daily interactions is something I hold to high standards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Boundaries<\/strong>: I maintain professional boundaries with my students, avoiding favoritism or personal relationships that could lead to bias or perceived unfairness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.&nbsp;Ethical Responsibility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Academic Integrity<\/strong>: I adhere to strict standards of integrity, ensuring that my lectures, materials, and assessments are original or properly cited. Plagiarism and dishonesty are things I actively discourage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Confidentiality<\/strong>: I respect students\u2019 privacy by keeping their personal information and academic performance confidential. I never discuss grades or personal issues in public or casual settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Honesty and Transparency<\/strong>: I am clear about my course expectations, grading criteria, and feedback. My goal is for students to have a transparent understanding of how they are being evaluated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4.&nbsp;Being a Role Model<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Leading by Example<\/strong>: I understand that students look up to me not only for knowledge but also for guidance on how to conduct themselves professionally. By demonstrating ethical behavior and a strong work ethic in my own actions, I hope to instill these values in my students.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Encouraging Open Dialogue<\/strong>: I aim to create an environment where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas, asking questions, and respectfully challenging viewpoints. I believe this kind of openness encourages intellectual growth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lifelong Learning<\/strong>: I am committed to continuous improvement. Whether it&#8217;s staying updated on the latest developments in my field or adopting new teaching methodologies, I strive to model a passion for lifelong learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5.&nbsp;Compassion and Patience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Understanding Student Needs<\/strong>: I recognize that students have varying capabilities and circumstances, and I try to be patient and compassionate. I want my students to feel supported as they navigate challenges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Offering Guidance<\/strong>: I understand that students may seek mentorship beyond academic content. I\u2019m always willing to provide guidance on career choices, personal development, and navigating ethical dilemmas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By adhering to these principles of professionalism, respect, and ethical responsibility, I aim to create an enriching and supportive educational experience for my students, preparing them for their future as ethical professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/nikshahman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2802\/2024\/10\/05E012FF-CD16-4456-90BC-C9F37E20D6B9-2931-000000755DBA964B-1024x684.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30\" srcset=\"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/nikshahman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2802\/2024\/10\/05E012FF-CD16-4456-90BC-C9F37E20D6B9-2931-000000755DBA964B-1024x684.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/people.utm.my\/nikshahman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2802\/2024\/10\/05E012FF-CD16-4456-90BC-C9F37E20D6B9-2931-000000755DBA964B-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/people.utm.my\/nikshahman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2802\/2024\/10\/05E012FF-CD16-4456-90BC-C9F37E20D6B9-2931-000000755DBA964B-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/people.utm.my\/nikshahman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2802\/2024\/10\/05E012FF-CD16-4456-90BC-C9F37E20D6B9-2931-000000755DBA964B-1536x1026.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/people.utm.my\/nikshahman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2802\/2024\/10\/05E012FF-CD16-4456-90BC-C9F37E20D6B9-2931-000000755DBA964B-2048x1368.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a lecturer, I believe it\u2019s essential for me to model proper manners and ethics to create a positive learning environment and set a professional standard for my students.
