Sometimes students do not fulfill prerequisites. Science and engineering topics are designed sequentially. When someone fails to get the linkage between items covered, he cannot comprehend the subject and feels bored in lectures. For example, I found a student who didn't understand the angular relation of friction force. Later on I discovered that he didn't know the basic knowledge of geometry taught in school level. He did not know that sum of the angles of a triangle equals two right angles i.e., 180 degree. If fundamental items are being covered in the class, I won't have time to cover syllabus contents. If students let us know that they have problems in understanding/ coping with, I can help/ counsel them overcoming their difficulties. But, unfortunately in most cases they feel shy or think this teacher is not suitable for them. Because, good grade not learning is the objective for most of them.
