| | |  Hogwarts "provides lessons in teaching dos and don'ts"
Dr Conn, who has published two papers on education in the Harry Potter books, said Professor Severus Snape offered an example of how not to teach - asking closed questions on unstudied topics which served only to humiliate the young students.
At the opposite end of the teaching spectrum, Professor Minerva McGonagall showed her students what they could aspire to, by changing a desk into a pig and then setting them a task of turning a matchstick into a needle, achieving the same results. Quote:
Originally Posted by Dr Conn "One of the most important activities that takes place in this institution is the assessment of the core knowledge, skills and attitudes its students are expected to master to become competent and independent practitioners of magic," she said.
"An external examining body, the Wizarding Examinations Authority, oversees the development and implementation of assessment procedures at Hogwarts.
"There is a series of steps, informed by contemporary educational theory, which internal and external examining bodies need to follow to gather meaningful data about student performance."

That's really true. When I read the title of this I knew exactly which teacher was good and which was bad.

Very interesting. It seems like everything is related to HP in some ways.

It might not be the right way...but I'd still want Snape to be my teacher LOL. But they are right about Mcgonagall I always thought that she and Lupin taught classes the best way.

I agree. I never really thought Snape was a bad teacher--just an unfair one. He taught Harry enough to get an E on his OWL's! The worst teacher ever was probably Umbridge. Or Lockhart

I don't think that Severus was a bad teacher just slightly mean to his students, he definetly taught harry alot especially about the bezoar which saved Ron's life!
I think the worst teacher was Umbridge!
