RESEARCH PROFILE LINK
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
| Teaching Philosophy Statement |
| My Teaching Philosophy: 1) Relate teaching in class with application outside. 2) Research is something that contribute to the new knowledge/findings. It may not accepted by some groups, but there are other groups who might find it useful to them. 3) Delivering knowledge is analogous to giving jigsaw puzzle pieces. Teaching is guiding how to assemble the pieces. |
TEACHING GOALS
| Teaching Goals Statement |
| My Teaching Goals: 1) Produce students who are ready to face working environment. 2) Produce students who can adapt to the outside environment. |
