Teaching Approach and Style
My teaching style is interactive and student-centered, designed to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I emphasize a growth mindset, where challenges and mistakes are seen as valuable learning opportunities. Throughout the course, I’ll use visual aids, interactive software, and real-world examples to make complex concepts easier to understand and more relevant to students' lives.

Class Structure and Interaction
Students will engage in a variety of activities, including interactive lectures, hands-on problem-solving, group discussions, and practical exercises. Each class session will include live lectures with Q&A sessions, allowing students to ask questions and engage directly with the material. Group activities and peer discussions will encourage collaboration and deeper understanding, while interactive quizzes and assignments will provide personalized feedback and help reinforce key concepts. An online forum will be available for ongoing discussions and support outside of class time.
