TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

One of Ana's career goals is to be a respected teacher who educates and entices future scholars and marketing professionals. She aims towards igniting subject matter interest in students, providing them with interesting ideas, and enabling them to use their knowledge, creativity, and contemporary tools in solving relevant problems. Ana's courses typically include a combination of course lectures to transmit relevant concepts and findings from her own research projects, as well as assignments, case studies, and debates for transforming and extending knowledge through classroom discussion. Since her earliest teaching experiences, Ana has been embracing information and communications technologies. She is familiar and very comfortable with several online learning platforms (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, WebCT, K-Hub), and she believes these are very useful in today’s education. For her most recent course on social media marketing, Ana used a number of tools (e.g., Kahoot, Socrative, and Poll Everywhere) for real-time feedback during lectures and interesting ideas for activities and student projects.

Ana's teaching philosophy emphasizes fairness, interactivity, and collaborative learning. She prioritizes balance between theory and practice and hopes to engage students in a lasting discussion. When supervising students, she invests time in brainstorming ideas in initial phases and providing feedback on write-ups. Her bachelor and master’s students (nine in total since 2013) have said that she is an engaged and thorough supervisor and have expressed thanks for her guidance.
