To this end, I foster an environment that can be characterized as both interactive and collaborative. I encourage class participation as I believe that by asking questions and expressing their opinions, students enrich class discussion and learning opportunities are maximized. In addition, I complement lectures with in-class activities, case studies, video clips, and current events which enable the students to understand the relevance of the topics discussed and how these relate to the real world. Team projects are also an important component of my classes, as these provide students the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people and enhance their communication skills, which in turn, are essential for any career in business.
