Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering

Teaching Philosophy

It is my passion to monitor my own process of digesting ideas and concepts in order to be able to present them again in the clearest mental analogy. This is the first pillar in my teaching philosophy. The second is to comprehend that each student has his own talents, in addition to the needed basic skills. A student needs some freedom to actualize such gifts and interests. Finally, it is essential to maintain an adequate pace of the communications with the students. Too fast explanations, as well as too deliberate ones, may lead to losing the attention of students. Hence, the pillars of my pedagogical philosophy are: deep concept transfer, free-space for personalized skills, and proper communication-pacing.
