Assoc ProfessorMaria-Rosario Hernandez

Students have the potential for learning when provided with appropriate conditions. I believe that learning is a social activity and I see myself as a facilitator of learning, adopting a student-centred approach. A key motivation for my teaching is the development of life-long student learning.
