I believe that each student is a unique individual and has a great potential to succeed in the classroom and in their chosen professions. Good teacher must possess the curiosity, patience, caring, and desire needed to work with each student and motivate the student to succeed, in addition to being able to stay informed on current issues and technological developments in the field.      

Learning is an experiential business where all complicated concepts can be absorbed by students if professor knows how to create an environment conducive to healthy learning experience. The professor should be able to manage the behaviors of learners in the classroom in addition to being friendly and supportive. A key to good student learning experience is maintaining their interests in the subject. To maintain students’ interests, and to keep students actively engaged, in each session I employ different activities including giving lecture; demonstrating software applications; drawing examples from real world cases; assigning individual, dyadic, and joint problem-solving exercises. Joint problem-solving exercise is my favorite technique when I need to reinforce a concept that is easy to forget, like software syntax or formula. By pitching one group of students with another in a game-like environment everyone is involved and remember the concept without much effort. Furthermore, since theoretical principles must be integrated with practical knowledge to develop critical thinking, working with a real project is important. These real world experiences give students opportunities to ground themselves in a professional setting, to critically reflect on the nature of professional work, to understand users' information needs and concerns, and to extend their knowledge and expertise beyond the textbook and lectures.

Classroom learning comprises only a small portion of students’ total learning experience. Therefore, continually and promptly communicating to students (either in writing or verbally) instructional expectations, feedback to student work, and student progress or lack of progress are important to overall learning quality. In today’s dynamic and competitive business world where information technologies play an increasingly important role and where content evolves almost daily, it is important for students to acquire life-long learning skills.  Students need the tools to be able to adapt and to learn on their own.  Thus, all students must be able to seek out and find on their own relevant information in the future.  To achieve this, I make effective research skills a course priority.

Furthermore, since theoretical principles must be integrated with practical knowledge to develop critical thinking, working with real projects is a necessity. These real-world experiences give students an opportunity to ground themselves in professional settings, spur critical reflection on the nature of professional work, help  to understand users' information needs and concerns, and to extend their knowledge and expertise beyond the textbook, lectures and class activities.  In my introduction to IS class, students build prototypes of web-based information systems with real-world applications and clients.  In my e-commerce class, students developed business plans and then implemented them into an e-store prototype.
