Why we should be selected to participate in the Teaching Partners. Make your case for
acceptance to the program.
Dr. Farooq uses lots of in-class demonstrations to explain complex and non-intuitive
ideas of physics. My observation till date, is that the students liked a lot, because they feel that
they are learning and understanding the material. On the other hand my teaching style is
interactive and group activities by problems solving. This technique helps them to relate and
understand the background theory in addition to problem solving skills. By observing each other
(same course) we think that we can be able to incorporate the teaching styles of each other in our
lectures next semester for the best interest of students. This will make the class fun along with an
enhancing learning of the students. We are planning to apply in combination of these techniques
in coming semesters.
The post- observation discussions between Dr. Farooq and myself has led to constructive
feedback and discussion to enhance teaching techniques. These brain storming dialogues have
led to relating PS-103 course to in-flight pilot issues to write new homework problem-sets
related to flying. These problem sets will be more closely linked to aviation, and we are in
process of compiling these problems by class discussion from students, professors in aviation
and aviation related fields. In this short period of time we have seen that the subject has become
more relevant to the students.
All these reviews are well documented, by video recording of the lectures of each other.
This assists in making peer-reviews more beneficial to refer to the topic.
Considering all the mentioned reasons we feel by observing each other we will improve
the quality of teaching and it will not only benefit us but also ERAU students.
We will be thankful if you will accept out case for teaching partners.
