writing-intensive courses. Outcomes - Upon successful completion of

Ibrahim Ashour - Assistant Professor of English Dr. Ibrahim Ashour’s
life-long motto is “To teach is to learn twice.” His philosophy of
teaching, briefly speaking, revolves around his role as a participant
and communicator of knowledge. In medicine, there is a main belief to
“do no harm,” and he strongly believes that this applies as well
to teaching. It is for this reason that conscience is most important
to him in teaching. Furthermore, students and schools are changing,
and he believes that we, as teachers, need to meet these shifting
needs and to remember that we are in a continual state of learning and
adapting. Dr. Catherine Thomas - Professor of English, Associate
Dean
