Please provide a brief description of your teaching philosophy
In my lecture courses I suggest simple but rigorous explanation of physics phenomena. If the general derivation of a formula is not requested by the program I give a rigorous derivation for a particular situation. I suggest a lot of examples for every concept studied in a lecture. I show the formulas, pictures and problems using Microsoft Office Power Point Presentation but derive the formulas and solution of the problems on the board. I encourage students to participate in the problem solution and derivation of the formulas. I prefer demonstrations which are directly and unambiguously illustrate the concept. I do not like demonstrations and examples which do not have direct connection to a studied concept and may appear to be wrong. I try suggesting unambiguous problems without unnecessary boring computations. If possible I ask students to explain a homework solution in the class and encourage discussion of that solution.What do you enjoy most about teaching at Poly?
- First, friendly and cooperative environment for the faculty members with strong emphasis on the improving the quality of education. Second, the friendly and encouraging environment for students. Third, the excellent grading system which eliminates opportunity for unfair grading.
Aside from textbooks, what other reading material would you recommend to your students?
- APS websites promoting science for general public.
Is there a particular person who has made a significant positive impact on your life?
- My mother.
