Teaching Belief
My fundamental teaching belief is that good teaching (the instructor side) comes with good learning (the student side). They are two sides of the same coin. In an ideal education environment, I try to achieve the following three basic related goals:
- Generate and sustain student interest.
- Maintain teaching/learning balance.
- Provide complete educational experience beyond courses.
