TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
| Teaching Philosophy Statement |
| I belief a lecturer should play the equal role as a researcher and educator. I find it is important to carry out both activities concurrently and ensure that experiences from research are implemented in courses for which I am responsible. Thus, students will gain from being exposed to current technology and information. By including research in courses, I gain from being forced to interpret results and reflect on the status of the research program. This reflection is an important step when shaping a research program and developing future research objectives. I endeavor to convince students to understand concepts so that they may apply these concepts in a variety of situations, rather than memorize steps to solve a particular problem. If I am successful, I expect students will be able to retain concepts more easily. I expect students to want to learn and do much of the work during the learning process. With this expectation, I can't accept the title of a "teacher." I try to act as a facilitator in the learning process, rather than the deliverer of information. I recognize that students learn in a variety of ways, and I attempt to accommodate these methods. I encourage students to find personalized methods to understand and retain concepts, and I assist them by providing my own customized examples for explanation of concepts that elude them. In addition to different learning processes, I often find that students must be given the confidence to experiment in the application of newly gained knowledge and to ask questions to promote individual thinking. In an effort to encourage discussion, I am always available to student. Although I arrange formal office hours, students are welcome to make appointments or find me anytime. |
