Shahla's wide and varied teaching experiences and consequently knowledge base, has allowed her to make her teaching, at HE, accessible and interesting by using a heutagogical approach. Keeping key concepts and principles totally succinct and linking them to real-life examples, the subject area can ‘come to life’ and hence motivate and inspire learning!
