Dr. Heather Ricketts

Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is simply grounded in 3 issues: - helping students learn and appreciate the fundamental content of the course by developing critical thinking, preparing them to function effectively in their field, and inculcating an interest in and if possible a passion for the area.  I am known to be a thorough marker which students tend to fear, as unfortunately, this is viewed as hard marking!  Ultimately, however, my numerous comments are greatly appreciated, especially for examination preparation.

My Teaching Philosophy

Multiculturalism has made it necessary to know and understand the cultural sensibilities and background of my students for effective teaching and learning at the tertiary level.

Dr. Moji Anderson

Moji / Miss / Dr Moji has a reputation among students. I am entertaining, I am passionate and I am a hard marker. My reputation draws students to my classes; it also keeps students away. The students who are keen to engage in difference and push their epistemological boundaries will take as many of my classes as they can. Those whose primary focus is their GPAs and the piece of paper they will receive after three years’ incarceration in the ivory tower avoid me if they can.

Teaching Philosophy


I recognise that each student will learn in different ways.  I also realise that many students have not been exposed to the attitudinal approaches necessary for success in their studies as well as in their lives.  Many lack confidence, in their ability to succeed at studying as well as at the personal level, and many are apprehensive about being at university.  No successful teaching experience can ignore these and other factors which loom large in the minds of our students.
