بيان التدريس والتعلم

Dr Namasiku strongly believes that he should never stop learning; he should actively seek to learn always.  He believes in doing the best he can in any situation.  He believes that he should cooperate with others for maximum success for all.  He believes in leading by objectives and holding people accountable when the agreed objectives are not achieved.  He believes that there is nothing more rewarding than adding value to the lives of others, be they his university students, fellow academics, or indeed anyone out there; conversely that value will be added to his life if he submits to mentors.  he believes in the Golden Rule – in any situation, “you should treat others as you would like to be treated” (Maxwell, 2005), and he has adopted this rule as the integrity guideline for his life; he has literally taken the advice of George Eliot, one of the leading female English novelists of the 19th Century – “keep true, never be ashamed of doing right, decide on what you think is right and stick to it.”  He believes that applying these core beliefs to his higher education teaching activities will help him achieve my teaching objectives in a higher education institution. (Maxwell J.C. (2005). Ethics 101: what every leader needs to know. New York, Center Street.)
