My teaching hours and the subjects taught include:

Though it varies, I teach a maximum of 13 theory periods a week, as well as 6 practical periods. On average, I teach a minimum of 13 hours per week. In addition, I supervise 2 PhD students [as Main] with 5 Masters Students also as Main (Thuthuka) and co-supervisor respectively. I am also involved in extensive Extended Curriculum Programme (ECP) coordination and mentoring as well as WIL coordination for Biotechnology Programme. Based on the new work-load model, I believe my contribution to the Biotechnology programme is above average as shown in the Table below.
