Please provide a brief description of your teaching philosophy
In practical courses, the emphasis is on cognitive learning, i.e. integration of theory and practice, knowledge of the underlying principles that control a particular application and inquiry methodology, which includes the concept of measurement with its inherent variability, hypothesis forming, experimental design and methodology based on evaluation of results. In both experimental and theoretical courses,a particular attention is given to assessment methodology which is aimed at most adequate evaluation of student’s skills and elimination of plagiarism.
