Teaching Portfolio

I have been very fortunate and honored to teach university students in Australia, Europe, and the United States, before coming to Canada in 2004. No doubt that I have learned a lot from my students, not only because "to teach is to learn twice", but because each student brings to the class his or her own inspiration and energy, helping me to appreciate better words of Henry Ford who once said: "anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty; anyone who keeps learning stays young." I do hope also that my students have learned a lot from me and what I do in the class is striving to pass a long lasting interest to the subjects I teach to my students and demonstrating that "the mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited". In this way, I put myself into a position to claim what once was claimed by Henry Adams: "a teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops".
