Teaching Summary
Teaching for me is an honor and a privilege. It is a humbling experience when I stand in front of students who place their trust in me for guidance and dissemination of knowledge. It gives me a great sense of responsibility and humility. I have entered this profession with a diverse background, teaching in China and in the U.S. I have collaborated with people worldwide and have worked for U.S., European, and Chinese corporations. Through these experiences I have developed an appreciation for the differences in regional perspectives; for the issues that confront us as a global community; and for the profound challenges that our students face daily.
I have also developed an appreciation for the importance of experiential and active learning. It is important to bring my own experiences of success and failure into the classroom, but it is even more important to encourage students to bring their accounts of success and failure into the classroom to construct and make sense of their own learning. I strive to be an effective instructor, mentor, and adviser to my students and was pleased to be included in the list of “Teachers Ranked as Excellent by their Students” upon my arrival at Illinois.
