My teaching goal is to effectively transfer fundamental knowledge on the course subject and to encourage proactive learning and critical thinking. Although transferring fundamental knowledge is important, I strongly believe that promoting lifelong proactive learning, fostering efficient teamwork and effective communication skills, and inspiring critical thinking are more important at shaping and preparing our students. Therefore, I developed the “Five-able” teaching philosophy: knowledgeable, transferrable, learnable, enjoyable, and practicable.
