Teaching Philosophy

I believe in creating active learning environments that combine:

  • Inductive approach: observations to theory
  • Data-driven and empiric-based course contents
  • Multi-modal learnings (videos, readings and podcast)
  • Combination of individual and groups assignments
  • Teacher self-evaluation
