Teaching style

I consider myself a laid back teacher who likes to combine learning with having fun. I try very much to establish caring relationships with my students. When they know I care about them, they feel more invested in their learning. I try to ground my teaching in research and what makes the most sense for students. I am one of those fortunate few that love what I do!
