Nutrition

philosophy

I believe that instructors should increase the capability of students in learning, knowledge, and confidence after graduation. My instructive approaches are focused on teaching the principles of food and nutritional sciences in a dynamic, hands-on methods. I usually reflect back to the time when I was a college student and try to remember what my expectations were from my instructors and constantly remind myself that the students are the major shareholders in the learning process. I demand a high standard of performance from my students, and also recognize that a good teacher and adviser is approachable, available, and welcomes criticism.  Teachers should be concerned with facilitating student advancement and learning by including the needs of diverse students in their plan. My teaching style accommodates diversity and improves the capability of students in learning and applying their knowledge in real life to infuse dynamic learning behavior to my students.
