TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
The corner stones of my teaching philosophy are:
A. Treating each student as an individual: All students are different and each one of them has
special needs and peculiarities, which needs to be addressed.
B. Accommodating students: Students are prepared at different levels when they are enrolled
in any course. Some outstanding students have clear idea about the subject. These students
just require encouragement and inspiration to achieve their goals. On the other hand, some
students require a lot of guidance and help. My strategy is to distinguish both types of
students and help them to be successful in my course.
C. Providing extra opportunities: The University of the Punjab has excellent resources, but
many students need additional help. I try my best to engage and coach students to access to
available resources.
D. Assuring that students are important: Sometimes students have the perception that they are
not important for a professor. I work very hard to ensure that each student realizes that I
value him/ her as a person and as a student in my class.
E. Developing relationships: I always try to create a friendly and conducive environment in
the class and beyond for improved leaning and communication.
