The "Open Physics Project"
The main objective is to develop a full set of courses to cover the studies of physics at the Master level. The project follows the strategy of education at distance "web-based". This is a long- lasting project based on the idea of free education.
Teaching Statements
My teaching philosophy is driven by the main objectives I would like to achieve. At the end, the students should gain some key skills and build the fundamentals for the background in the course topic they choose as future scientists. Therefore, the followings are my key objectives:
· Foster critical thinking and creativity (key aspects in science)
· Students should be able to function efficiently with independence
· Promote independent thinking, ability to solve problems and strengthen leadership skills
· Independent learning (life-long learning skills) and go deeper in the key topics
· Develop cooperative working skills.
