4 STATEMENT of TEACHING INTERESTS I believe that the best way to teach is to stimulate the students' interest in the course by emphasizing the importance of the course for the society. Students should be exposed to real world problems that can be solved using the course material. To ensure that learning is exciting, theoretical learning should be accompanied by application. This is achieved through projects and exercises. Students should be encouraged to ask, discuss, and even suggest promoting individual thinking. It is more important to guide students to solve questions than to give them straightforward answers. I take a sincere interest in the well-being of students and interact with them on professional and social levels. I am convinced that social interaction with students makes them more comfortable when asking for assistance. I am always available to students in or out of class.
