Teaching Mission

• encouraging every student to approach learning with a growth mindset
• delivering instruction with patience and skill-appropriate guidance to optimize learning
• developing teaching skills of trainees to support class- and lab-based instruction

Teaching Philosophy

• Anyone can learn anything they put sincere effort towards.
  • The key to successful learning is the courage to keep trying.
• The answer to a problem is irrelevant.
  • The right reasoning is immeasurably more important than the right answer.
  • Arguments are important, not answers.
  • The key is to develop a sound approach towards, and reasonable justification of, an answer.
• Conceptual intuition persists and should be the focus of learning.
  • Details are unretainable without developing a guiding intuition.
