About Me
I challenge students to think on their own through guided discussion, provide exposure to real-life experiences, and give problem-solving exercises. Also, I teach the students to communicate effectively both orally and in writing, assign public speaking opportunities, and provide critical, precise comments on delivery and content.
I have writing assignments and provide the same critical feedback as for oral presentations as well. I then repeat these learning opportunities until good communication skills become a habit.
