Teaching Philosophy and Practice:
There are many different objectives to consider when describing my
teaching philosophy. I believe an educator should strive to:
1. provide a professional, yet non-intimidating
environment
that fosters a positive academic experience;
2. examine individual goals and determine the best
way to achieve them;
3. present material in a way that promotes not only
an understanding of the topic but also the ability to evaluate and apply
the
knowledge towards different situations;
4. assess the students' understanding of the material
and develop strategies to improve student learning;
5. establish a connection with the science community
outside of the classroom through seminars and outreach activities.
