Teaching Activities

The goal of teaching in my point of view is to achieve the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) of the course and give the students better competencies as well. This can be realized by dividing the course into a homogenous sequence and to illustrate the target simply using basics and fundamental knowledge. Also, the student skills can be improved by teaching them to be cooperative, independent thinkers, organized, able to formulate new ideas and last but not least to engage in team brain storming. I spent more than 20 years in teaching basic and advanced mathematical courses in several public and private Egyptian high ranked universities. I supervised assistants and students as a part of my daily job. I attended many courses to enhance teaching performance such as: communication skills, examination and student evaluation techniques, quality standards in teaching, E-Learning, credit hour system, teaching evaluation, curriculum design, and advanced electronic information resources.
