My Teaching Philosophy in Practice

My Teaching Philosophy in Practice

I am very passionate about teaching because it fulfills my inner need to give back to my society what I have learned. Also, it is one of the most effective ways to master a certain topic. Therefore, when I prepare a class for teaching, I try my best to thoroughly understand the class topics in order to be able to answer my students’ questions.

When I teach a computer science class, I usually have three different goals.

• First, I want to make sure that students understand the fundamental concepts I am explaining. For this usually prepare different examples and discussion scenarios that challenge their understanding and make sure those students not only understand the examples but also the concepts behind these examples.

• Second goal is to make sure that they can apply their understanding of these fundamental concepts on other examples. I usually prepare assignments and applications that require students to use what they learned in both direct and innovative ways to make sure that they understand different concepts thoroughly.

• Third, students should be able to apply what they learn to real-life situations. For that, I usually prepare additional slides, real-life use cases, and hold discussions.

At RBMI Greater Noida, the teaching and learning are based on rigorous discussions on applied aspects besides the theoretical knowledge.
