Dr.Amit Kumar Jha always believed in the importance of good teaching. Students are the intellectual lifeline of any institution and it’s our duty as stewards of higher education to enable students to succeed regardless of the career path they choose. To this end,he believed that good teaching and research are complementary in two ways. First, success in both areas requires clear thinking, collaboration, and the ability to simplify complicated concepts. Second, in terms of growth as an academic, teaching provides an opportunity to learn from students and give back to the community. He firmly believes in the importance of teaching to ability and his philosophy in teaching is that no student should be left behind. His goal is to help students think independently, analytically, and creatively about how to solve specific problems and engage with central questions in modern society. These skills will be crucial for students to succeed in their classes and beyond, regardless of their career path.
