Curriculum Vitae

Teaching Philosophy

A college course is a joint venture for the professor and the students instead of a one way delivery of knowledge from the former to the latter. It is based on mutual respect and willingness to communicate with one another in and out of the classroom. Both the professor and the students should take pride in making the course a success. The professor inspires students to pursue the subject matter beyond what is delivered in the classroom.
