Teaching Philosophy |
My belief that education is an ongoing process means that the course content needs to be relevant and that the skills learned need to be transferable to other disciplines as well. I try to help students find a method of studying that will enable them to be successful not just in a single course, but in the long run to be proficient in updating their knowledge and competencies. |
