TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
The university education
experience,
at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, is often as much about
acquiring
life long learning skills as about acquiring facts in a particular
subject
area. In the area of information systems, content changes almost
minutely.
Students need the tools to be able to adapt and to learn on their own.
In aiming to teach students how to engage in life long learning, I seek
to:
- develop
independent,
critical thinkers
who are capable of problem analysis and resolution beyond the classroom
- develop creative
thought
- develop individuals
who
take responsibility
for their actions in independent as well as in group learning, and
further,
in society
