I teach a variety of courses including ethics, critical thinking, and broader introduction to philosophy courses. I have found it difficult to isolate the communal aspect of knowledge transmission from my practices with regards to my students. Central to my teaching is the fact that what we do in class is a communal endeavor. Whether knowledge is gained or lost is a testament of what we as a class have accomplished or failed at. I encourage my students to form study groups, to ask one another questions. I try to make the case that their success or failure is a reflection on all of us, not just me, not just them individually.
Here, you will find some teaching evaluations.
