Whether taught in a traditional or online environment, the pedagogical philosophy that
guides my teaching style is that of interaction and innovation. My philosophy is founded on
the recognition that to learn, knowledge must be shared, and that each student learns
differently; thus: to reach the whole student population, a learning environment must be
facilitated that allows for different viewpoints, while simultaneously initiates creative,
analytical thinking processes and various learning techniques.
The conventional barriers associated with a university lecture hall diminish within my
classroom environments. Discussion forums encourage the communication of unique life
experiences, of both, the instructor and student. Business management is a dynamic field.
Therefore, the classroom that teaches the subject matter should also be, dynamic in
nature. Although methods, and even philosophies, can change with the times, the
engagement aspect of business courses remains paramount.
With advancements in technology, classroom learning is rapidly expanding as more
information is readily at our fingertips. My view on technology is that it is to be used as an
enhancement and extension of classroom learning and therefore, technology is
incorporated readily into learning resources. All students must possess basic technology
skills, have access to the Internet, all assignments must be generated on word
processors, and students are required to learn Blackboard’s basic platform functions.
Learning methods include lectures, textbooks, journal articles, videos, games, the Internet,
Blackboard, group projects, and written assignments. For all written assignments,
emphasis is place on collegiate level composition. All assignments are developed to
provide a “real-world, hands-on” practical application of business concepts. Assignments
are always generated around current applications of organizational psychology and
business administration. Course contents go above and beyond information contained in
course literature. As a professor, being that of an added student resource is a personal
aspiration.
Management students are encouraged to utilize my “open-door” policy that provides office
hours (in-house and online) for advising and help with assignments. Office hours and
online contact information are provided at the beginning of each class with syllabus review.
Students are further encouraged to call and/or e-mail questions, comments, and concerns,
whenever a need arises.
