Some thoughts on teaching ...
I believe a teaching style is greatly influenced by the teachers you had throughout school, college, and life. They all impact your style, and based on your varied experiences, you decide how to teach and which strategies to avoid.
The red thread through my students' feedback is that they see me as "fun, fair, and disciplined", and I am good with that. It's about helping them learn, cultivate their passion for their chosen profession, and teach them to survive and thrive in the tourism industry and in their personal lives. My main goal is to empower them with critical thinking skills and coach them to be confident professionals, and hopefully also in their personal lives. What courses have I taught? My colleague Dr. Snider keeps saying, "What course has Anke NOT taught yet?" :) Hey, there are still a few left, but yes, I have got a good number under my belt by now.
