Liisa Sheldrick
Instructor |
Teaching at Continuing Studies makes me a better marketing communications professional. From preparing my course material, activities and finding great examples from my work and around the world, being an instructor keeps me passionate about what I do for a living. The classroom is made up of a wide variety of students with different backgrounds academically and professionally, while sharing a common interest in improving their understanding and skills.
The other great benefit of teaching adult learners is that each student brings a wealth of experience and knowledge that can inform and influence the course. In group discussions or one-on-one, I take teaching as an opportunity to learn as much from my students as, hopefully, they learn from me.
