My teaching philosophy could be summarized in one word – connections!
As a teacher of graduate level courses, I have the privilege to meet students at various levels of professional development and learn about their background and their career aspirations. This knowledge helps me develop learning activities that will build upon their prior experiences and various perspectives.
I encourage students to explore and make connections within the course content, asking questions about their understanding of the material. After being asked to reflect and connect, students usually start asking their own connecting questions in deeper discussions with their classmates--rewarding moments that every teacher hopes to experience.
As an academic researcher on human information behavior, my research enriches my teaching, and teaching brings new ideas to my research. This connection also provides an opportunity to engage in collaborative work with students, which has resulted in many co-authored research publications.
