Teaching Philosophy and Student Evaluations

To any Student who IS Contemplating Taking a Class From Me

It is my every intention to make you work very, very hard in my class because it is the best way to learn, and I mean LEARN. There will be NO practice exams given, nor review sessions, since they will otherwise bias the results of examinations. If you work hard and understand deeply the materials, then getting a high grade from me will be easy; if you slack off, do not work hard, skip classes, or simply ask tutors or friends, and now Artificial Intelligence (ChatGPT, Claude) to do your assignments (hence, will not understand the materials), then with very high probability you will get a low grade or a failing grade from me [unless you are a genius, but only 2% in the population are considered geniuses (IQ above 140)]. Therefore, if you seek a high grade without doing full effort and work, I may NOT be the ideal professor for you to take. But, if you want to be challenged, wants to learn as much as you can, and enjoys learning new knowledge, you are very much welcome to be in my class, and I’d love to be your professor.
