Edgar's Teaching Philosophy: Real-World Learning Through Interaction
Edgar believes that students learn best through variety and engagement. His teaching philosophy centers on presenting clear, accessible information while fostering interaction and creating a space where questions are encouraged.
"I see my role as a facilitator who sparks curiosity and creates an environment where students feel comfortable exploring, making mistakes, and thinking critically."
His approach combines several key elements:
Real-World Context: Edgar focuses on using real-world examples, drawing from products and case studies that are relevant and well-known across the industry. This helps students grasp new concepts more easily by anchoring material in familiar, practical contexts.
Active Learning: He employs active learning methods by encouraging group discussion and simulating real-world product management scenarios. This allows students to apply their knowledge collaboratively and learn through hands-on experience.
