Teaching Philosophy/Pädagogischer Ansatz

Knowledge and insight frequently happen between the cracks. Thinking in fragments/fractals = thinking out of the box. It is always incomplete!
Intellectual gain tends to be proportional to effort. The more time you spend on a particular project, the more likely it is that you will have greater returns and learn something of value. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, one of America's favorite philosophers: "No pain, no gain." Auf gut Deutsch: "Ohne Fleiss, kein Preis!"

CV/Lebenslauf

In keeping with my premise that knowledge and insight frequently happen between the cracks, check out these sites on Gustav Weisskopf, a German emigrant to the United States who was born in my hometown and who conducted the first controlled and motor-powered flight in aviation history two years prior to the Wright Brothers,

See also the following link to New Zealand aviation pioneer Richard Pearse, who is credited with a first, controlled and motor-powered flight on 31 March 1902.
