Students Feedback- https://padlet.com/rafi_ds/du6yi7g8elnwABOUT MEI was born & brought up in a middle-class Muslim family at Dhaka, Bangladesh. Being the youngest member of my family, I enjoyed every opportunity to be spoiled by the unconditional love of my parents and siblings. Taking full advantage of those love around me, I turned-out as a passionate young man who can afford to run after his dreams (no matter how crazy or unrealistic they are!). I completed my secondary education from Dhanmondi Govt. Boys' High School and higher secondary from Dhaka College under Science discipline with flying colors. Then my academic interest got gravitated from science to social sciences. So, I got myself admitted at the largest university of Bangladesh: University of Dhaka, where I successfully completed my B.S.S. and M.S.S. as the topper of my batch. I consider myself exceedingly privileged to get in touch with not just good but some GREAT teachers who inspired me to choose teaching as a lifestyle. The credit goes to my respected teachers who made me capable enough to start teaching at the Daffodil International University just after weeks of completing my M.S.S. degree back in Fall, 2014. I am currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Development Studies under the Faculty of Humanities & Social Science.
