Teaching is a dynamic and holistic process that includes formal and experiential approaches toward education. Formal approaches such as structured lectures, engaging discussions, and rigorous coursework are excellent ways to challenge students to think critically and apply their knowledge. At the same time, we must recognize that knowledge and wisdom are not the same thing and equally important to critical thinking skills is the ability to apply one’s knowledge in a way that is beneficial and receptive to others. In this sense, projects outside the classroom such as collaborative projects, real-world case studies, experiential learning and exposure to diverse and challenging perspectives help develop the context and interpersonal skills one needs, not only to be successful at their work, but in life. Using a combination of these teaching methods Professor Cuéllar hopes to inspire students to become lifelong learners who can apply their knowledge in original and meaningful ways.
