Teaching & Supervision
In my teaching, I aim to promote long-term learning and engage students in each lesson through interactions, discussion, reflections, critical thinking, and multimedia learning. It is important students can make connections between the course content and real-world phenomena in my courses.
In addition, I take an active and open approach to student supervision, promoting strengths of students and encouraging them to embrace the research process. As of October 2024, I have supervised over 13 undergraduate thesis projects, 8 master thesis projects, 5 research internships, and 2 research assistants. In addition, I have actively collaborated with and co-supervised 2 PhD students.
A full list of courses I have designed and led can be found below. Evaluations for any of the listed courses and a list of supervisory activity can be requested through contacting me.
