Teaching

I have substantial teaching experience as an instructor at Marist College, Washington College (MD) and the University of Delaware. Above all else, I strive to engage and challenge my students. My lower level undergraduate courses focus on teaching students key concepts, debates and issues of political science; while upper level classes place less emphasis on exams and instead emphasize guided independent research and significant student participation in the class. I always aim to ensure that the students from different ethnic, racial, social and economic background feel welcome in my classroom. 

As a teacher, I aim to equip my students with the necessary knowledge and skills to become critical thinkers and effective communicators. Besides traditional midterm and final examinations, I utilize a variety of active learning methods to engage my students. Some of them include: case studies, debates, blogs, group discussions, group presentations and simulations. I have taught the following classes:
