Contributing to the NUS Learning Experience

“I am currently doing my PhD degree under the guidance of Dr Trevor Penney from NUS and Dr Po-Jang (Brown) Hsieh from Duke-NUS. As a Russian student who studied and worked in the U.S., I was always fascinated with Asia and considered the NUS programme a natural extension of both my interests and academic career as NUS has a very competitive research focus. FASS has been very welcoming from the first days of study and the modules I have taken from the Department of Psychology were nothing short of exceptional. Since the graduate programme here places a lot of importance on teaching, I knew I would have to acquire some skills from the very start to do it right. In this, both the teaching workshops organised by FASS and the department, as well as some reading on the side, were of great help. The students’ intelligent questions, enthusiasm and feedback were extremely rewarding for me. I feel honoured to receive the teaching award and to contribute to the reputation of NUS as one of the finest universities in the world in terms of learning experience.”
