As an educator, I am passionate about encouraging my students to engage with intriguing questions and ideas. I am a recipient of Monash University’s Vice Chancellor’s Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning (2020).
In 2023, I am teaching a third-year unit at Monash University, ECC 3146 Community, Market and Government. Here is the link for this unit in the Monash University Handbook.
This unit is conducted as a weekly workshop, with students divided into groups of approximate eight people. For each workshop, students read the assigned readings before the class. A few days before the workshop, I circulate a pre-workshop assignment that usually consists of both survey and open-ended questions for the topic for the upcoming workshop. Students share their answers to the open-ended questions with their group members. The actual workshop will mainly be in-class discussion, with guidance, additional questions for discussions, and comments by myself based on student answers to the pre-workshop assignment and the on-going discussion in the workshop.
The only pre-requisite for this ECC3146 unit is ECC1000 – Principles of microeconomics.
