zhuangzi.jpg (2147 bytes) A craftsman can teach his student what round and square mean, but he can't pass on the skill itself. A fencing instructor can teach you the necessary positions, but he can't make you a great swordman. A lover of books often thinks that the words themselves are of great value, but it is actually the meaning that isn't recorded by language that is valuable. A person who knows how to memorize doesn't necessarily know how to study.

Current Quarter

For the academic year of 2008 - 2009 I do not have a teaching position at UCI.
This would be a great opportunity to look over last six years of my teaching
experiences to shape teaching philosophy.
