In general, my philosophy of teaching, my teaching objectives, my pedagogy etc., naturally parallels my philosophy of mentoring students in research and scholarship. I embrace individuality among students, emphasize the ongoing pursuit of knowledge, try to lead by example, and always press upon students the implications of our daily actions to the state of the real world. I operate under the premise that all students are individual humans with different strengths and weaknesses, and accordingly, different strategies of teaching will engage different individuals.
