Sameer’s teaching style is very personalized in the sense that how he goes about teaching depends on the student’s argumentative interests as well as how the student prefers to learn. Because we’ll be discussing the nuances of complex critical theory, it is important that we understand how our students learn prior to any actual discussion of critical literature. Whether they are a visual learner and would prefer the addition of diagrams and images to lessons, an auditory learner and would prefer a simple lecture to listen to, or tactile and would like to see how these theories would be applied to debate in real time, Sameer will ensure that lessons are built in a way where students with any distinct learning style can feel comfortable. Having participated in circuit debate, lay debate, critique debate, and policy style arguments, Sameer is very fluent in what makes each type of debate style distinct and will be sure to apply that knowledge when teaching students from all debate backgrounds to ensure every student receives access to a quality education.
