Teaching

Teaching interests encompass civil/structural engineering, sustainable urban development, and research ethics.

 

Philosophy

 

Good university teaching is based on trying to understand student learning (Ramsden 2003)

 

1.      apply best teaching approaches

2.      allow student interaction

3.      evaluate performance and the lecture material

4.      reflect upon teaching from the perspective of intentions in teaching and students’ perceptions, and

5.      modify procedures/approaches in response to changing circumstances (e.g. formative feedback)
