Academic Philosophy
“Teaching is one of the noble professions in the world. Teachers need to work hard to produce ethically and critically thinking leaders of tomorrow……”
I am an experienced and dedicated teacher in Medicinal Chemistry.
As a Professor, my 1st step for classroom management is to make my lessons engaging and motivating. I find that this is the best way to minimize disruptions and promote learning.
I am competent with latest technologies in my profession and use them regularly in my teaching. I believe technology is deeply important for students as it is requirement for most jobs of the 21st century. It also reflects on how to use it to help extend learning.
I use creative assessment practices that go beyond standardized assessment, so the students focus on how to put knowledge into action and reaching mastery of their content.
I aim to have all my students think critically about themselves and the world around them. I want them to leave my classes with more questions than answers. I also help in learning real-life application of their knowledge.
