What is your teaching philosophy?
The best way for me to help a student become an independent learner is to show them that they already have or can learn the skills necessary to solve a problem. I encourage students to first brainstorm about the different ways to approach their coursework, and only after selecting the best method should they begin the task of solving a problem. Once students get in the habit of doing this, they can learn more independently in a wide variety of situations.
