Core to my teaching philosophy is that connecting with students is essential to engaging them, and I adhere to this philosophy both in one-on-one interactions with students and with the conversational style I strive for in the classroom. When teaching technical courses, I think it is more important for the students to grow into problem solvers and critical thinkers than it is for them to be able to regurgitate facts; therefore, I ensure that my students observe the process of applying the course material and feel comfortable asking (and ultimately seeking answers to) open-ended questions.
