Teaching Approach
My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process. By creating a student-driven approach, I aim to empower my students to take control of their education, allowing them to develop critical thinking skills, become problem solvers, and engage in collaborative learning. I prioritize open communication with my students, recognizing that a supportive and inclusive environment is necessary for learning to take place. I encourage my students to ask questions and share their thoughts and opinions, and I am always available to provide guidance and support when needed. In addition, I place a strong emphasis on developing technical skills that students can use to solve real-world problems. I believe that this approach not only prepares students for their careers but also equips them with the tools they need to make a positive impact on their communities.

Fall 2022
Khaled was able to give quality explanation for all the procedures used for solving the given equations. Also, if we were clearly confused on a subject he would give an overview during the next lecture just to ensure everybody had a reasonable understanding of the concept. Overall instruction quality was excellent.
He was a great professor, he cared about our learning and always encouraged questions, explaining them in multiple ways top deepen our understanding.
Amazing. Thermodynamics is, to me, one of the most frightening streams of learning in chemical engineering. Benis was successful in breaking difficult concepts down into digestible ones, and it helped inexorably.

Khaled is a great professor! You can tell he cares about how well we are learning the material, and takes great care in teaching all of us & prepares his notes well. Overall, I had a good learning experience.
The instruction was thorough and well–paced. The instructor took time to ensure everyone understood what the material was.
Khaled displays the true Vanier spirit in his teachings. He is a gem of a person, always willing to help. Thank you.
