Water Supply and Sewerage Theory and Practical (WSS5128)

Stage: 4th

Classroom: F1H3 and L7

No. of Students: 27

One of the guiding factors of my interactions with students, both in and out of the classroom, is that the student is

ultimately responsible for their own learning. As a Lecturer, I have a responsibility to help students gain an

understanding of the material and applications of that material. This doesn’t mean, however, that I should simply

provide answers to student questions. I require that students with questions take the responsibility to research those

questions on their own (at least in the textbook and other class materials); if that research doesn’t lead them to a

solution, we engage in a dialogue to guide them to an answer. If I can teach students how to discover answers on

their own, I’ve given them capabilities they can use well past the end of a particular course.
