Lydia Wazir

Experienced college level English composition instructor and Writing Center coordinator.
The purpose of education is to enable students to become successful in their lives. An effective teacher relates all learning to the real world and by doing so makes learning concrete and meaningful to students. An effective teacher strives to prepare students to become active, engaged, respectful yet critical members of society.
Teaching undergraduates has been gratifying not only in my success in introducing students to a world of critical inquiry, but also in the way in which addressing my students' difficulties with analytical writing and thinking has refined my own interactive approach to teaching writing. I strive to engage students in a critical look at the world in which they live, and to encourage them to see themselves as actors in the intellectual arena, a world where thoughts and ideas have both potential and consequences.
