Teaching

I believe in authentic assessments that mirror real-life tasks that students might engage with during their work or life beyond the university. With this kind of assessment, students apply the knowledge they gained in practical situations and achieve their learning outcomes. Students evaluations are a vital source that informs my teaching. It always highlights the gaps and allows me to self-correct my teaching approaches and lecture contents.
