Teaching

Sample Lesson Plan

This is a sample lesson plan that I had taught in Spring 2025. This sample lesson plan, designed for a guest lecture in a comparative politics course, explores the role of political parties and party systems through a combination of lecture, real-world examples, interactive quizzes, and a collaborative group activity. The session emphasizes student engagement, active learning, and the application of theory to practice. By integrating technology and encouraging peer discussion, the lesson reflects my commitment to student-centered, evidence-based teaching, and continuous improvement in instructional delivery. A PDF version of the lesson plan can be found below the picture.

Teaching Philosophy

I believe that education should be accessible to all and that true learning extends beyond grades and test scores. My goal is to help students discover their personal motivation for learning, whether driven by career aspirations, intellectual curiosity, or civic engagement. In my teaching, I emphasize critical thinking, the application of theoretical concepts to real-world cases, and the cultivation of lifelong learning skills. I am committed to creating an inclusive, supportive, and student-centered environment that respects diverse learning needs and empowers students to find their voice, build confidence, and reach their full potential both inside and outside the classroom.

Middle Term Survey

To promote reflective and responsive teaching, I will administer a mid-term feedback survey to students in my courses during the Summer and Fall semesters of 2025. The purpose of this survey is to assess how well students are engaging with the material, evaluate the clarity of my instruction, and identify areas for improvement. The insights gathered will help me adapt my teaching strategies in real time and demonstrate my commitment to student-centered learning and continuous improvement. A PDF version of the survey can be found below the picture.
