TEACHING AND SUBJECT EXPERTISE
It is very useful, especially at the undergraduate level, to stimulate students by bringing into life theoretical concepts by exercises, field, and laboratory and computer sessions. This helps students to develop confidence and to understand the importance of theory and practice in solving practical problems. In addition, it stimulates discussion and active participation in classes. I believe that technical concepts must be continually accompanied by deep thinking by the students. It is then necessary to develop an educational agenda keeping in mind the needs of different students that allow students to develop logical thinking in pursuing their personal interests and developing a problem-solving attitude.

In summary, my teaching always respects individual capabilities/interests and I try to make topics interesting and engaging for all students in my classes. I think this helps students better understand their own strengths and weaknesses and enable them to make the best of their intrinsic capabilities and creativity in achieving different goals in their careers.
