People should be data savvy...the world revolves around analytics...the ability to think data, to speak data, to understand the power of data. I think every citizen on this planet should understand, because it's so powerful. --Sebastian Thrun, Professor of Computer Science, Stanford University
My satisfaction as a teacher comes from facilitating a great classroom discussion and interacting with students. Teaching provides me the opportunity to positively influence young adults by sharing my knowledge and experience. And at the same time, it challenges me to improve myself as a teacher and person.
