Teaching Philosophy:Always my goal is to teach students in easy and simple language for better understanding, of the knowledge and its application in their future carriers. During teaching-learning process I utilized modern technology such as power point to enhance learning. I also engage the learners in lab sessions, small-group discussions and assignments. I tried to give theoretical as well as practical knowledge to the students in easiest method. In addition, I encourage them not to depend on the class notes and develop habit to read books. I always endeavor to instill the habit of self-upgrading by engaging students in activity that needs regular visit to the library and internet for retrieving relevant information to the subject.I employ short answer quizzes, assignments, projects and presentations to assess student learning.
