Teaching Philosophy
My passion for teaching stems from my own desire to constantly learn but also from the deep sense of satisfaction I gain when I see others become empowered by their own skills and knowledge. One of my main goals in the classroom is to ensure that the topic I am teaching becomes relevant for students’ daily lives. More particularly, I want my students to understand that politics is not an abstract notion but a process that affects every area of their lives and that requires active participation from them. Teaching Political Science, I feel responsible to educate my students on the benefits and responsibilities of citizenship. 
Secondly, I want all my students to develop abilities to find and critically consume information. That is why in many of my classes I incorporate the assignment of a research proposal, starting with developing a research question, gathering articles on the topic, organizing and synthesizing the articles in an annotated bibliography form and finally writing a literature review, where critical thinking is developed and practiced. 
Thirdly, I aspire to provide students with a strong foundation for lifelong learning. I am particularly driven to help students on an individual-level basis as I strongly believe that each individual has different needs and learning styles. Therefore, I am always available to go over lectures and discussions outside of the classroom.
