I am convinced that dialog is fundamental to the learning process. I think of myself as a very patient teacher. I am convinced that the success of a class depends on good preparation. Moreover, I think if I am teaching a class I want to prepare a set of good accompanying course notes. Overall, I encourage students to take notes during class.
Writing is yet another way of learning.
I have deep respect for every student, their questions, and their concerns. I am very excited about the prospect of teaching in the future for several reasons. One reason is, that I simply enjoy working with students. Another reason is that teaching is a very effective way to attract research students. In addition I know, that by teaching I learn myself.
