Teaching

Organizational research is full of counter-intuitive, often paradoxical, findings.

By applying these findings to the daily life of her students, Dr. Kwon aims to change students' perspectives to view themselves, organizations, and the society. In each class, students will grapple with probing questions concerning human decision-making, organizational effectiveness, diversity, and moral dilemma.

In challenging her students, however, Dr. Kwon carefully crafts each lecture to forter an open and inclusive environment. Recognizing that learning can be challenging, Dr. Kwon employs a diverse range of teaching methods, including reflections on everyday life, real-world business cases, online discussions, simulations, and other in-class activities. This practice ensures that every student feels empowered to proactively ask questions and come out of their comfort zone to engage in class discussions.

Since 2018, Dr. Kwon has taught a core BBA Management course highly successfully across multiple institutions, teaching formats, and pre-pandemic and pandemic periods. After the pandemic, Dr. Kwon pioneered a fully online version of her course, introducing an innovative “lecture buffet” that incorporated three distinct learning modalities—reading, listening, and watching—for her students. With this breadth of teaching experience and innovation, Dr. Kwon looks forward to bringing this innovative, student-centered approach to courses in management, organizational behavior, ethical decision-making, and topics such as motivation, grit, and passion.
