“I think she is doing an amazing job with teaching. I think her class time is used very productively and I nd myself using this information even outside of class. Her feedback is very productive and give clear communication on what she expects. I loved the case studies and the policy memo is very interesting and I've even used it during a job interview.”

“Professor Vourazeris offered an amazing and well-taught course this semester, and I'm sad it's over. It's rare and hard to find an amazing professor like Vourazeris who can make a dreadful course like government policy feel so insightful and relevant in every class. The course had me engaged the entire semester, and I would like Professor Vourazeris to continue teaching in the same compassionate way.”

“I enjoyed the student presentations and activites we would do as a class to get us a bit more involved. Overall the professor did an amazing job in navigating the course and in the future I know they will do incredible work and hopefully be able to educate more students.”

Teaching Statement

Teaching resonates deeply with me, and I am passionate about fostering an inclusive learning environment. My primary goal as a teacher is to help my students develop critical thinking skills that they can take with them after the course is completed. I understand that all students are coming into the classroom with different types of knowledge and learning styles. Therefore, I aim to develop innovative teaching methods that cater to diverse learning styles. (1) I give students feedback on how to improve in a constructive, kind manner. (2) I recognize that not all students are comfortable talking in class, which typically makes up a significant percentage of points in the overall grading system. To aid students who fell into this learning style, I give other opportunities every class session to apply full participation credit to those who were not comfortable speaking. (3) I create an open- dialogue environment, where my goal is that all students feel more comfortable approaching me on sensitive matters such as additional accommodation or help outside of the classroom. (4) I am open to student feedback and suggestions on how to improve the courses I teach as well as my teaching methods. By integrating these principles into my teaching approach, I aim to create an empowering educational experience that not only imparts knowledge but also equips students with the skills and confidence to navigate academic and professional challenges successfully.
