TEACHING AREAS

Philosophy
My teaching is geared towards producing wholistic students who are self driven. They should be able to critical analyze society problems as well as find solutions to them. I expect my students to be critical thinkers in all aspects of society. They should be able to analyze situations, contribute to discussions and class presentations. Through this approach they learn to be independent thinkers and solution providers. Therefore such students are expected to be dependent upon as change agents of society as well as problem solvers.
