Teaching Philosophy

Teaching has always been a passion of mine.  I believe learning is a dynamic process that requires involvement from both the teacher and the students in order to create an environment suitable for learning.  I believe that view the role of the teacher is to provide direction to students, encourage participation both within the classroom and outside of the classroom.  I have always had positive rapport with my students, which I believe creates an effective atmosphere for learning. 

Our role as teachers must encompass more than just presenting the lecture material.  Our role as teachers in the ever changing IS field requires us  to provide solid concepts to our students, in addition to incorporating cutting edge skills, technologies and applications to prepare our students for future success in our technological society.   I make an effort to prepare well-organized materials and bring real world business cases into the classroom discussion.  Since IT develops rapidly, the class materials need to reflect the contemporary trend of industry technologies.  I have found that incorporating real world business cases enhance students’ ability to apply theoretical concepts and knowledge to real business contexts.

I enjoy teaching and love the interactions I have with students.  I believe teaching is one of the most important parts of my professional life.  I consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to interact and share my knowledge and experiences with the future leaders of our business environment.  I have been involved in a variety of teaching activities at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, SUNY-Oneonta and University of Wisconsin – La Crosse where  I have utilized various technologies, such as presentation software, Internet, and groupware in order to improve my students’ learning experiences.
