Teaching Paradigm

As a lecturer in the Mathematical Sciences at QUT my primary aim has been to improve the learning outcomesof those students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, who take my units, are involved in the courses that I coordinate and/or are under my supervision for research training. I have attempted to do this in a number of ways, namely:

  • By providing a stimulating and exciting environment in my lectures, tutorials and in interacting with my postgraduate students that is conducive to learning and draws upon my research experience;
  • By adhering to a reflective teaching practice in which I always seek to critically evaluate student centred data of my teaching quality;
  • By developing and implementing high-quality, innovative, flexible and relevant learning resources (that have been externally recognised by the Carrick Institute);
  • Via my involvement in the implementation of student support programs;
  • By developing, improving, coordinating and promoting postgraduate coursework and honours programs in the Mathematical Sciences.
