Teaching Philosophy I will present the materials in a way that is easiest to understand for MYSELF Everybody has a different way of learning Student participation is very important Majority of learning takes place outside the classroom Always look for ways to better understand the materials Share your knowledge with the class You cannot lose knowledge by sharing it. You can only gain more!
