A Conversation with Dr. Pratima

What draws you to your discipline?

“My teaching philosophy is student engagement and interest through collaboration. I make them work on group projects. I give hands-on experience to my students by getting original data and analyzing it. It provides not students with a competitive edge in their job search. I stay connected with my students and available to them for any guidance that they may need.”

What is something you enjoy about your job, in particular? Why?

“Teaching is my passion. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to teach students of all grade levels, ethnicity and nationality. It also helps me learn and after every semester of teaching I find myself to be a better version of myself. The most satisfying part of my profession is helping my students grow with my knowledge and professional experience. Also, this job allows me to pursue what I am most interested in, in terms of research and use the most innovative techniques in my teaching.”
