TEACHING & TECHNICAL EXPERTISE

During my 12 years of teaching career, I always prefer an Incremental and Interactive setup in the classroom teaching. For me learning should be done in small and manageable chunks with clear objectives and learning outcomes. Practical orientation meshed with theoretical basis is inevitable for the persistence of the earned knowledge. Furthermore, each learning chunk should be placed as a staircase where the next is built upon the previous ones and the progress is clearly visible.
In addition to this, learning should be interactive as knowledge propagates mostly through discussion and exchange of views and ideas. Thus a teaching session must offer interaction among the participants. In my classroom setup I always encourage to through questions as well as critique to any raised issue.
These elements to me are auspicious for teaching Software Engineering, where the relationship between learned knowledge and its practical perspectives are not explicitly visible, and often such connection never drawn during teaching. My courses are often designed following the above-mentioned philosophy.
