TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
| Teaching Philosophy Statement |
| My teaching philosophy includes treating all students with absolute equality, regardless of age, gender, nationality, intellectual ability or personal attractiveness and making it clear that I am always available on request, and living up to this by devoting time to personal tuition on demand. I will make it my business to try to understand the student's point of view however erroneous before attempting to give them my own. This means that when I do teach I can choose a conceptual path that leads from the students current understanding to a broader or more conventional one. The students in my classes know this and ask me for help in their other subjects. I will try to set a good professional example in written solutions and conversation, by always referring everything back to the standards of the engineering industry, where a single error could lead to tremendous expense or even loss of life. Enthusiasm is critical to good teaching, and students have a sixth sense for it. |
TEACHING GOALS
| Teaching Goals Statement |
| A good lecturer will have positive and progressive thinking and able to contribute to the country by teaching and guiding students in proper ways. As a lecturer, what I wanted to do is to teach and share new knowledge with the students. At the same time, I am learning new things from them too. It is two-way communications of giving and receiving information. On the whole, my education will be based on three significant ends. First, the students will get the utmost understanding on what they have learned. Secondly, the students will enjoy the entire learning processes and loved what they have learned. Finally, the students will apply what they have learned in the actual life and be able to become an inventor. To gain all the objectives, I will use the most relevant methods in lecture hours, depending on type and tendency of students behavior and interest. |
