Karin’s teaching philosophy is “to make a difference”. One should always bear in mind that each student in your class is unique, bringing their own educational history to the experience. Furthermore, understanding the individual profile of each student is key to success. She believes that as a lecturer one has a responsibility in how you make a difference. Always consider what you say to a student as well as how you say it. If you want to make a difference, it should be a positive and life changing one.
