Teaching Philosophy
Teaching should motivate the student to search deeper into topics and to want to acquire the skills that led to successful business careers. The student should be inspired to enjoy learning and enjoy being challenged to ever increasing levels of inquiry and analysis. I usually start classes by asking “Who would be happy to have a final grade of B in this course?” To those who respond “Yes,” I remind them that a B grade represents fulfillment of 80 percent of an assignment; in business, that will either result in your not getting hired, getting stuck in a job or possibly losing it to someone who is only content to get an A, or to reach 100 percent.
