Teaching Philosophy: Students learn most effectively when given the opportunity to apply knowledge in real world situations. The learning environment needs to be challenging, while using mistakes as a stepping stone to further learning.
Greeting to Students: “Get in here and let’s make a difference!!”
Statement of usual method of evaluation of students (number of tests, essay paper, book reviews, etc.): I use unit tests to demonstrate the students’ grasp of theory, practical tests to demonstrate the application of theory, and lab projects to demonstrate the ability to use existing knowledge and experience to ‘think outside the box’.
