Leslie Choudhury - Lecturer

Adrienne Lim Diplomatic Affairs Shangri-La Hotel Singapore	Dr Leslie, in the many years that I was taught and trained by many academics and professionals, I have never come across someone whom has truly inspired me and moved me in the riveting way that you do. Aside from the invaluable guidance you have showered on us, I have learnt more from the few weeks in your class than I have learnt over the years. Your teachings go beyond textbooks and mere experiences as it also creeps into the core of every element of life and how it plays into a subject. You've shown me and I'm sure, countless of others too, the meaning and measure of success. Not to forget, your unique creativity and humour in our lessons to get many points and concepts across. Teachings like yours are hard to come by, and I am glad that I had such a rare opportunity to soak it in. It has been an honour and a pleasure indulging in your lessons, and I would be so proud to one day be even half the person you are. With all my heart, thank you.
Naushad Chini India EASB / QMUC	Hello Leslie, I know it may be a Cliché to say you, Leslie are one of the best lecturers, but it’s a fact. I have had the best learning experience from your lectures. I have studied in the USA for 4 years where I did my 10+2 and Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management, but never came across a professor like you, Leslie. Your lectures are not literally lectures but a tour to reality. You share your personal experiences and examples that you give to explain the subject matter are mostly your own individual encounters which I really appreciate. In my whole class there must be at least 50-60 students and I don’t remember even a single person complaining about not liking your class. By creating a very friendly, comfortable, relaxed environment and your deep knowledge about the subject makes the learning much better experience. It was my pleasure and such an excellent opportunity to get educated under such a knowledgeable and brilliant professor. Thanking You
Elizabeth Foo / Singapore / James Cook University Dynasty Travel International Pte Ltd / Operations Executive	Hi Dr Leslie, It has been my pleasure to be taught by you. You have been one of the best hospitality lecturers i have ever met. The lively sessions and uncountable hands-on practical examples you quote to us in class have been so helpful that even while im now working in the travel industry now, the theories keep reliving in my head. It's been a wonderful experience. Thanks for all the knowledge and help rendered. Keep on rocking, and God bless!
Jackson Halim Indonesia EASB / QMUC	This testimonial below is dedicated to Leslie. The first time I saw you I was thinking that you are a type of a lecturer that would make the class bored, not interesting, . .hehe... But guess what... I think i'm wrong. Week after week, i get along with you well and as well as the other students. I found the way you taught us so different from the other lecturers that had taught me. Your jokes is obviously funny and it would make us laugh out so loud sometimes. Moreover, the way you dressed makes you really look like a professional lecturer. You r a happening teacher , a really fantastic lecturer, the way you taught can really capture our attention. Many thanks also from me, for helping me doing the assignment, your guides helped me alot. So basically, what i thought about you from the beginning of the semester was totally wrong..... That is why you said 'Don't judge a book from its cover' but i guess we all did. Ohhhhh.... i wish some day you can teach us again... hahaha... An unforgettable lecturer.heheh.... See you, God Bless you and keep in touch....

Arman Khan Bangladesh James Cook University President, Business Society (JCUS)	Leslie is a lecturer who is one of a kind. He is a blend of humour, intelligence, creativity and sarcasm ( of which I was a victim, nevertheless I enjoyed it every time). Very few can make students experience the scenario of real world in classroom, which he shared with us remarkably. From minute one till the very last, his classes were awesome. Every minute of class I missed, I was left with regret. And now as the school is over, I wish we could have had him more in other modules. It is hard to criticize such a perfectionist, Hats off to him!!!" PeRfEcTiOn Iz BLaH!!!
Vanitha Singapore James Cook University	"Great lecturer, quirky sense of humor. Differentiates raw memorization versus actual understanding of the important concepts and effectively relates the link between theory and practice. Very well-intentioned professor. Knowledgeable, has a superior command over the fundamentals and very much experienced in the module arena. Best I have ever had. Dedicated and never ceases to provide help!"

Krishna Mennen / India / EASB / QMUC	“Dr Leslie, Firstly i would like to say to you a VERY big thanks for coming to EASB and being our teacher and that I was amongst those lucky students who had an opportunity to learn so many things from u during the past weeks and I really even envy the other college students whom you have already taught. You are one amongst those teachers whom I just cannot forget but you will be my very favorite and the one who I would really like to give credit for making me or at least teaching me some things that I was unaware of . Dr Leslie really speaking you are the ULTIMATE LECTURER I have seen, till now and I even know that all the students say the same about u but this is my feelings that I wanted to share with u , the jokes and the playful manner, the style of teaching u r simply GREAT , and u should be very soon even called to be in HARVARD School of business for lectures , because u have some thing that is only with the Politicians and that is the technique to make people listen to u and that's really great , all the class tries not to miss any lectures of yours coz they know that they might really miss one of the best classes of their term and that's why I would somehow come to class, and even never be late by even 1 min coz I just didn't want to miss those very great moments that u share in every second, during class . I still remember the first lesson that u thought me was not in the class room but in the canteen and I will never forget it ..... Thank you
