Teaching Philosophy
Teaching Philosophy
The basis of my teaching philosophy is to teach students from the prospective of a practicing professional. It is my goal to bridge the gap between academia and the profession by bringing my professional experiences into the classroom.
In my upper level undergraduate courses as well as my graduate courses, I assign projects that enable my students to apply the theory and concepts taught in the course to real-life situations. In other words, the students will assess, analyze and formulate conclusions as they would if they were already practicing professionals. The goal of each project is to allow the students to familiarize themselves with situations they may encounter in the workforce and allow them to improve their communication, analytical, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
As a student, my most impactful professors provided me with a collaborative, encouraging and judgment free environment. They elicited participation and always prompted me to think as a practitioner. I aim to provide the same environment for my students in my classroom. I actively encourage the students to participate by asking them questions and making sure they understand the material.
I believe that by introducing real-life applications to the theory and concepts taught in each course, students will be empowered to confidently enter the accounting profession. They are the future of accounting. By providing them with the tools necessary for a successful career we are impacting a positive change in the profession itself.
With this practical approach students will not only be prepared to pass the CPA exam but they will possess valuable skills for their career. Specifically, they will possess critical thinking and analytical skills, a skeptical mindset, communication skills as well as proficiency in relevant accounting and auditing standards.
By providing a friendly, collaborative, safe environment conducive to achieving these goals, students will be given all the necessary tools to begin a fruitful and fulfilling career in accounting.
