Teaching for me is more than a duty or a job, it is satisfaction and gives me enjoyment. I used different means and methods in teaching, which help to create an engagement dialogue, or a two way communication between the teacher and the students. I belief that all students who can join a university are basically intelligent and capable to do well, so the goal is to help each one to trust him/her self and utilizes their inner capabilities. University education is a capacity building process and strategy, we need to build student capacities and not to spoon feed them.
