Philosophy of Teaching

Learning is fun, but applying the knowledge that students learned in class to a real-world problem is more challenging.  I achieve my teaching goals by presenting the fundamental knowledge to my students in class via lectures or textbooks, and then give them a case or project to complete.  I allow my students to make as many mistakes, and then I help them learn from their own mistakes.
