Teaching
Teaching philosophy
- Appeal to intuition: find examples that students would know&care about and are thus motivated to make parallels to
- Continuously prompt students to get engaged, to leave no-one behind
- For mixed-background classes, assume little specialised knowledge, and instead find bridging points between disciplines
- Instil a sense of step-by-step discovery, with minimal hand-holding
- Make constant references to “real” research: publications, the review process, research groups
- Encourage exchange of ideas and constructive feedback between students, within and between classes
- Clarity and transparency with respect to course requirements and examinations
- Train para-academic skills in the process: academic writing, presentations, accepting criticism, etc.
- Combine the respective advantages of online (e-learning) and in-person teaching methods
