Teaching

Philosophy

In this digital-era of e-learning resources, it is not a trivial task to keep students particularly interested in the classroom lectures. I consider this as a challenge to develop methods that make the learning process, a natural and interactive one. I make students actively involved in the lectures: i) by elucidating the concepts through simple demonstrations; ii) by engaging them to come up with illustrative schematics of the taught material and iii) by making an analogy to the topic, wherever possible, from real-world occurrences.

With this as my teaching philosophy, I have been actively involved in teaching several PG- and UG- level academic courses in the past 6 to 7 years.
