During my teaching assistantship of 128 hours at Polytech University for two years, I have assisted Prof. Denis Jongmans and Prof. Stephane Garambois in teaching third and fourth year civil engineering students in studying the Earth structure using the properties of the soil: we had outdoor acquisition experiments at landslide sites, using active and passive seismic measurements, as well as electrical measurements to study the resistivity of the soil. In class, we used different softwares (Sardine, Geopsy) to study and invert the shear wave velocity and other soil parameters.
As well, I have had different sessions of reading articles with the students.
In addition, I prepared, in collaboration with Dr. Gregory Bièvre, and taught a Matlab workshop …show more content…
Me, as a Lebanese instructor, them, as French majority students, with some Chinese, Brazilian, Algerian and even Lebanese among them, I have come to understand that not all students are alike; they learn at different paces, and what they value in their training and education varies among students. In effort to foster a safe and productive environment for all students it is of paramount importance that as teachers we are aware of the wide range of cultural and background bases the students are and how they function (learn and interact). I am able to adjust my instruction to match the abilities and preexisting knowledge that each student brings to the classroom.
I have followed teaching and management trainings and got the Label diploma in Research and High Education. Throughout my teaching experience and teaching training, I quickly learned that a student’s success in the classroom is not only dependent on their commitment to excellence but also on the capacity of their teachers to engage them in the learning …show more content…
As in teaching a course, I learnt that an effective mentor finds ways to motivate and encourage his mentees, but he must also ensure that mistakes are acknowledged and learned from. Thus, I will ensure regular communication and feedback with each individual.
My teaching experiences, coupled with my undergraduate and graduate experiences in which I was a student have taught me the profound impact that one good teacher can have toward a student’s overall development. While the specific learning goals of a course are dependent upon the nature of the course, the education level of the students, the purpose of the course within the department, and the relationship between the course and related courses, I have a personal goal and a commitment to become the best teacher I can be:
(1) Preparation and enthusiasm are cornerstones of effective teaching; they are contagious and inspire critical-thinking and
