Teaching philosophy
The ability to apply theories learnt in the classroom to understand real world phenomena allows us to identify problems and design workable solutions. This I believe, are important skills that a professor can impart to her students. I design my classes with three specific goals: I help students a) master theory and empirical tools, b) understand the merits and limits of theories and the tools, and c) apply the appropriate tools in gaining insight to real world phenomena.
