The world we are living in today is replete with complex problems. Students, as citizens and future researchers, should be able to understand the complexity of these problems and suggest feasible solutions. As a teacher, my goal is to encourage critical thinking and expose my students to various problem-solving strategies in the classroom so that they are adequately prepared to investigate urgent sociopolitical problems in the future.
