Teaching


My approach to teaching includes changing activities throughout the lecture, to keep it more engaging. I will show power point slides, draw graphs by hand, ask questions and let students work on their own for a while. I like involving students in discussions and encourage them to ask questions. In order to achieve my teaching goals I make use of technology in the classroom. In the video below, I use a lecture capture software to produce videos of all lectures that are available to my students on their learning management system. I also use an in-class response system that allows me to collect students' answers to my multiple choice questions in real time. This allows both for me to see whether students are following along, and for each student to get immediate feedback on whether they can answer questions correctly, as well as how many other students are getting the questions right.
