Course Curriculum Overview:

I choosed the course because I was good at that course and I was getting fifty thousand salaries per month. So because of high salary and my good knowledge in that subject I decided to take that course in that college. And here most of the students are studying this course and so there was a high demand for a teacher in this course so I felt that I should help such students by helping then and by teaching them so this is one of my main reason to select this course. And there were many teachers who were trying to apply for this job. So I took and accepted this challenge and I went for an interview in the college and I got selected and all the students are now passing by many good marks because of my teaching. So I am very happy. There are total 4exams in the gap of 3months, so and as the college is famous the papers are very very hard. And its really difficult to pass in that exam. But because of my teaching. No student failed in that exam. Everybody passed with good marks. So I am very happy.
