Teaching Philosophy

  • Teaching is an inseparable part of learning for me.
  • Knowledge belongs to the community, not to me.
  • Every class is different, and teaching styles must adapt to meet students where they are.
  • My impact is magnified when I find ways to empower the institution where I work.
  • Learning is about understanding relationships and interconnectedness, not rote facts.
  • I must use and respond to data-driven feedback on the techniques that work for my students.
  • Grades are a tool to facilitate learning, not an end in themselves.

"I dreaded physics, but you made this class understandable for this old man.  Thank you for the time spent and all of your help for me to get it."
