Why did you start teaching?
I believe that the development of critical thinking skills is the essence of higher education. I live by Gibran's words from The Prophet, "No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge ... The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding ... For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man" (1923: 56-57). As such, much of the responsibility for student learning is shared with my students, and they rise to the occasion.
What advice would you give to those considering this online program?
• Be prepared to spend more time than you thought you would
