	Dr CHAN Lap KiInstitute of Medical and Health Sciences Education & Department of Anatomy Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine I try to create an environment in which students can feel comfortable to explore their minds, to think, and to find out what is right themselves.

	Dr Gary James HARFITTFaculty of Education The more I teach the more I realise that the key to effective teaching is recognising the students’ needs above my own. Teaching does not need to be complicated; good teaching comes from the heart. [modal id=”7516″]Read on[/modal]


	Dr LAM Shui FongDepartment of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences I apply my research findings in my teaching. I hope that my students are reflective and caring learners who can construct knowledge collaboratively through the engagement in meaningful and authentic learning tasks.

	Miss Alice LEE Suet ChingDepartment of Law, Faculty of Law Learning is not and should not be something alien or unrelated to students’ daily life. To be able to motivate them, I have to know my students well. [modal id=”7565″]Read on[/modal]


	Dr Robert Shannan PECKHAMSchool of Humanities (History), Faculty of Arts As a teacher, I have striven to develop an experiential and interactive learning environment, where students recognise issues as multi-faceted and develop an agility to see around problems. As a historian, my aim is also to sensitise students to different kinds of texts and their contexts, and to instill a confidence that research is not the exclusive preserve of the ‘professional’. On the contrary, students themselves can – and do – make meaningful contributions to scholarship, developing persuasive, original arguments of their own. [modal id=”7567″]Read on[/modal]

	Mr Mathew Robert PRYORDepartment of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture Maintaining a close dialogue with students and alumni and their feedback has helped me understand that I could achieve far greater success by ‘teaching through practice’, i.e. getting students out of standard classroom settings and lecture formats and into everyday physical environments where the landscape itself becomes a teaching tool, and allowing them to experience the practice of landscape architecture, to interact directly with practitioners and to understand their experience of it.
