My vision of teaching is to build trust with the students that we gathered in class with the same goal, to make contribution for the people and the planet for the upcoming generations. Therefore, I want students to see me as their partner for collaboration, and more importantly, as a friend. I found that students’ attention and focus in-class increase the more they see us as their friend, hence the need to build trust with students. In achieving so, I do not mind spending an extra 30 minutes (sometimes out of my paycheck) with the students if this can help them uncover their potentials and enable them to contribute and be more functional to the society. My class is designed to be full of engagement and a safe place for discussion based on respect to each other. I employed various case studies and scenarios for in-class activities to stimulate discussion (my favorite is the wolf and the tribe). These activities were mostly designed by myself by taking references from various sources such as peer-reviewed articles, team-building magazines to influential video game sources played by millions of people globally such as Skyrim and World of Warcraft.
