TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
| Teaching Philosophy Statement |
| Lecturer + teaching process = student + learning process. This equation is interrelated, and additional strategies can strengthen this relationship. To improve the quality of this process, I will implement the following measures: To be an instructor, I strive to be genuinely curious about my subject areas and demonstrate a substantial passion for teaching. I believe my students will be less enthusiastic about learning if I don't show them the beauty of learning. Creating a comfortable, distraction-free environment, enjoying discussing the concepts, and, at the same time, organizing notes are all important to helping students become excited about learning. I also need to professionally present myself in classrooms to make audiences feel more comfortable and confident. I also believe that students' learning styles are affected by classroom learning settings. The overall impact on my teaching and my students's learning is something with which I'm concerned. |
TEACHING GOALS
| Teaching Goals Statement |
