Teaching Philosophy:
Studies show that very little learning takes place when the student passively listens to a lecture. Moreover, retention of these lessons is short-lived. I therefore supplement my lectures with practical examples and problem sets, allowing students to learn by doing. I also use case studies and real-world problems as much as possible, since this is an important step in showing students how economic theory can help them with real-world business decision-making.
