B- Teaching Philosophy

Statement of Teaching Philosophy

I believe that learning is a shared responsibility among teacher and students.
I will do my best to use current examples, effective presentation slides, and
other media to make the content engaging, but to get something out of this
course you have to choose to engage. I do not consider myself a final
authority on all matters related the key issues in the Materials Management.
It is your job to make sense of the material and construct your own learning.
Learning is most enjoyable when you are given an opportunity to put your
knowledge into practice. To this end, I use class time for more than just
lectures. I will provide you with activities, problems, and challenges that
require you to practice concepts and test your knowledge (so come to class!).
When it comes to assignments and other assessments I endeavor to provide
meaningful, personalized and constructive feedback so that you can improve
your work. I am committed to using technology to improve the overall
learning experience, so I encourage students to bring laptops, cell phones,
.and other mobile devices into the classroom

a result of new research in the field)
A variety of instructional methods may be used depending on content area. These include but
are not limited to: lecture, multimedia, cooperative/collaborative learning, demonstrations,

For any topics where significantly less time was spent than was intended in the course
