I participated in the teaching through discussions ,demonstrations using models and presentations.
The teaching methods are similar to those used at my home university i.e Makerere University college of health sciences.The sessions are very interactive and students are ecouraged and given enough time to do preparations.This is also similar to what is done at home.
What I noticed as a difference is the strictness on time ,especially the time when to stop the day's activities, from the students.The facilitator as to go by the scheduled time.At my home university , a session can go beyond the stipulated time even by more than one hour.

I think that may be relevant or a good behavior because it calls for thorough preparation from the side of the facilitator.

But it might also pose some disadvantage in the learning process . The facilitor may be forced to hold on to what they prepared and then limit the time for the elaborate discussions on the topic at hand,which would help to draw more insight.

The relationship between teachers and students is very respectful for each other.This is somewhat similar to what happens in Makerere university although we are still in a transtional stage.
