impactful, innovative, fun!<\/p>\n\t

Whether learning “for”, “about,” or “through” a subject, focus needs to shift from the traditional emphasis on data to learning by doing, with opportunities to actively participate and control and shape the learning situation. In short, a movement towards creativity, multi-disciplinary, and process-orientated approaches, with practical applications of theory.<\/p>\n\t

I’ll never forget the feeling of hairs raising on the back of my neck. I sat in the audience at the Women in The North Conference and watched a woman sing and dance this inspirational and traditional South African song with a rigour and a passion I was not expecting. I was undeniably mesmerized by her dance, her boldness and her story of struggle and triumph.<\/em><\/p>\n

Monica is an experience! She dances her presentations, makes people do and learn things that they never imagined themselves doing or learning. She is one of the most creative teachers I have ever witnessed in my over 40 years in education. Her audiences\/students always leave energized, invigorated and astounded at the experience. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Professor Monica Knight is one of the best teachers in VIU, is wise, fun-loving, and empathetic. Her engaging and hands-on methods (playing golf and paper airplanes) make learning a joy. Embrace her experiential learning, self-explore, reflect deeply, and ask questions. Don’t treat tasks as mere assignments, or shy away from introspection..<\/em><\/p>\n
