TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

My teaching experience includes face-to-face, and online delivery methods and it emphasizes interdisciplinary actions, community engagement, and active collaboration to help students identify and resolve communication problems in communities that they are part of both locally and globally. I strive to create an environment conducive for students to explore emerging technologies, to take safe risks, and to promote continuous learning.

SYLLABI

Communication for Engineering and Technology (ENG 331)
Students worked on real-world projects, such as the vMLK project to create useful and sustainable documentation by collaborating with multiple stakeholders and subject matter experts.
Communication for Business and Management (ENG 332)
Prepared Syllabus, course materials, assignments, and rubrics to help students communicate effectively by becoming familiar with the purpose, audiences, and conventions of written communication in the workplace contexts especially business and public organizations.
Digital Rhetoric for Artificial Intelligence/Interactions (AI) (ENG/COM 395)
Students created artificial intelligence applications (chatbots) using Python programming and constructively applying rhetorical criticism to design and inclusive design measures to implement the design.
