My Philosophy in Teaching

I believe higher education is about going beyond content mastery. I work hard to create a learning environment that fosters critical thinking and problem solving. All students, in order to become engaged members of society, need to understand not only the facts presented in books and lectures, but the questions they need to ask based on the information they learn. I present information in the most compelling way possible - often through interactive teaching aids and experiential learning opportunities. I bring in real-world examples in the form of professionals from the field of study. At the beginning of each semester, I explain that I expect students to take an active role in their learning, asking questions and going beyond the material presented in class. I give bonus points for class participation, keeping track of which students ask questions or offer new ideas. As part of the final project in most classes, I ask students to present a problem and offer a novel solution for that problem.

I also request feedback from students about my presentation of materials and the assignments they complete. I use anonymous surveys at the midway point and at the end of the semester to ensure I am meeting their needs and effectively communicating expectations.
