I believe that teaching is just as important as research because while researchers discover new knowledge, teachers discover new leaders. Personally, I am most interested in teaching classes related to Water Resources Engineering; however, with ample preparation, I have also taught other courses such as Structural Engineering and Higher Surveying with comparable effectiveness. The following are a listing of courses that I have taught as an assistant professor at the University of Jamestown (UJ), as an instructor at University of the Philippines Los Banos (UPLB), and as teaching assistant at The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) and Texas A&M University (TAMU).
I am also a proponent of the "classroom without walls" concept, i.e., learning should not be confined within the four walls of a classroom. Hence, if you are a student and would like to schedule a one-on-one meeting with me - please do so at the following link: https://calendly.com/lasco/30min
