Teaching Philosophy
Teaching Philosophy
I have a great passion for teaching and it is a very stimulating experience for me. I believe that teaching is but a process of mutual learning; and this is especially so in a research environment where we explore the limits of knowledge. Research exclusive of teaching is likely to be far less fruitful -- this is true of undergraduate teaching as well as graduate teaching. Teaching requires one to clearly state and explain concepts to the learner. This acts as a forcing function for the teacher to have these concepts clear in mind. Teaching requires appropriate abstractions of concepts to enable meaningful learning -- the process of forming such abstractions helps the teacher a great deal in understanding those concepts well. And these abstractions ultimately help in better understanding of the body of knowledge, and hence facilitate in expanding it through research.

Teaching Experience
Teaching Experience
I have liked to teach. I also had the opportunity of teaching the students during regular class sessions. My experience as a teaching assistant. I prepared appropriate material for the discussion session to strengthen the learning from regular class hours. These sessions also involved helping students with specific problems they had difficulty in understanding. Also, twice a semester, along with the other teaching assistants, I conducted review sessions for the students, before their mid-term and end-term exams. I also worked with the faculty and the other teaching assistants to set appropriate questions for these exams.
