InsideIIM Professor of The Year 2020 - What IIM Ranchi Students Have To Say About Prof. Marathe
“His teaching pedagogy is just brilliant! He can mould his lecture according to the way students react. He also takes up responsibilities in initiatives like Unnat Bharat Abhiyan and is currently shouldering a major responsibility in the college's efforts towards transforming a nearby village into an eco-tourism spot. A highly approachable person, and more a mentor and friend than a professor!”
“He has great passion for OB and enjoys teaching. He genuinely cares about his students and ensures that everyone is comfortable with the subject and also takes interest in the overall development of students.”
“Very well organised which is apparent from his teaching, Prof.Marathe uses pedagogy methodology that is one of the finest I have experienced. He combines actual learning in textbooks with actually experiencing the OB phenomenon. From making us take personality tests to teach us how they work to making us experience synergy through an exercise to providing an overview of what we've learnt with real life examples and showing the famous Disney movie Inside Out in the classroom, there is absolutely nothing Prof. Marathe will not consider to give us a better teaching experience. This is followed by a brilliant examination which is very well structured and allows us to use what has been taught with our own reasoning abilities to truly reflect our understanding.”
“Marathe Sir uses novel methods to ensure that the concepts are well understood by all students. He utilizes movie clips, in-class exercises and certain psychological techniques to explain the very techniques that he just used on the students leaving a lasting impression and increases the retention through active learning.”
“Mr. Gaurav Marathe is very passionate and sincere about teaching. His unique teaching style is very interesting and different. He knows the psychology of students. The effort he puts in before each session is very evident. He is a great teacher, a true motivator and an inspiring personality.”
