Experience Summary
Learning in the classroom is the result of a compromise between a group
of students and a teacher. A compromise to accept challenges, overcome
obstacles, and to be creative and innovative. A compromise that is specific to each classroom, allowing it to be unique. During the past four years, I have embraced teaching as a challenging and creative experience.
Teaching Style
I encourage questions and comments from students, and believe it is important to actively discuss the material with them both inside and outside the classroom. However, I also think it is important to encourage students to take greater responsibility for their own learning. Typically, I start a semester by being very open to questions from students, and as time passes I increase the level of active-engagement strategies.
