Teaching Activities of M. Thaddeus Ityokumbul

Teaching and Learning Concepts:

• Active student involvement in class discussions is a key component of my teaching philosophy and has its roots in the Chinese proverb: "Tell me, I will forget; Show me, I may remember; Involve me, I will learn."

• Students are introduced to total quality management concept, teamwork and the development of problem-solving skills, the goal being to learn how to manage complex engineering problems.

• Student evaluation is based on open-book examinations since the focus is to determine the degree of understanding of the subject matter.
