Not all the teachers are good at teaching Engineering and Mathematics courses and informing the students about the importance of what they are learning. That is why mathematical based engineering courses (such as Statics or Strength of Materials) are mostly boring for the students. The other problem that many students have with courses with strong mathematical background is that their mathematical basis is weak and therefore they cannot follow the course. I usually try to start my course from the basics and therefore actively engage as many students as possible in the class (even the weak ones). I also usually try to inform the students about the importance of what they are learning in the class by giving them some examples. This makes them more inspired and interested into what they are learning.
If you have extra questions before starting a class, don't hesitate to ask me :)

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Delft University of Technology I like sharing my knowledge with others. I believe that teaching makes the knowledge I have acquired as a researcher much more valuable. In my idea, successful teachers have several qualities including knowledge, enthusiasm, and student-based teaching methods.
