My goal in teaching is not only to convey a body of knowledge but also help the student incorporate that knowledge into their careers and life. We will discuss how portfolio, program, and project management can be utilized at work and at home. The focus is not to just transmit knowledge but also developing the student’s abilities as a critical thinker and an independent scholar.
