My Teaching philosophy and approach are driven by two key beliefs: Students learn quantitative skills best thru repetition and practice and students remember quantitative and qualitative skills by linking them to practical, real world applications.
In my lesson plans you will find ample time built in the lectures to practice word problems and case studies, similar to how we would approach industry professionals in the classroom. Through the use of video case studies and the significant experience I’ve gained working with industry, I can build a strong case for the application and use of principles taught in the class-room. I find that I am able to stimulate much discussion around the practical applications of material and it serves to create a very encouraging and engaged atmosphere. I am enthusiastic about the content, even if they aren’t, and work very hard to motivate the students’ engagement. I am available to discuss issues with students outside of class and enjoy the mentoring process. I also like to learn from my colleagues and often seek their advice on best ways to facilitate in the undergraduate arena.
