Teaching Statement

Isaac believes that to achieve effective teaching and learning, there should be a good working relationship between faculty and students. Students should be motivated to appreciate the value of what is being taught in class and how they could apply these principles to solve real-life problems. He also believes that students should be encouraged to learn to embrace the option of working in teams.
