Dr. Antonyappan is a professional educator, whose passions of research
extend to the observation of human beings in their deeply personal
convictions and processes to understand how and why certain paradigms are
perceived as preferred ways of living. She obtained her doctorate in social
welfare from the University of California at Berkeley in 1996. Her extensive
teaching experience in the United States and abroad is a contributing factor
to her exploration of ways to maximize self-actualization of human potentials
in positive ways. She has traveled widely to examine the perspectives of
people from India, United Kingdom, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, Spain,
Mexico, Nepal and Bangladesh. She is a keen practitioner of Yoga, Tai Chi,
Classical dance forms of India, and Auyrvedic healing and cooking. Receiving
instruction in the Kenpo form of martial arts, alongside her children, she
obtained her black belt in Karate. She is an eager and competent Chess
player. Most importantly she is a responsible individual who values ethical
leadership and respectful behavior in herself and her peers as integral to
the human life systems.

Teaching Phiolosphy
I consider my teaching role in the context of a reflective practitioner
who continually assesses the impact of teaching on students in the context of
the changing expectations of university teachers by students and
administrators. My accumulated years of teaching expereince have
resulted in the internalization of my work as an art of spirit in the highest
sense. As in all other aspects of life, I see the impact of accelerated
visccistudes of the harried modern world on my over worked students who have
extended carign and work responsibilities. Hence striking a fair balance
between assigned work and achieving the course objectives through outcomes
that students can embrace with enthusiasm and choices for further
learning has been a primary goal in all my courses.
I purposefully and actively present situations that act as catalysts to my
students’ learning. I consider it my responsibility to provide them with
opportunities to grow professionally in a consistent manner. I believe in
fostering a loving and unstrained learning environment in my class where the
relationships among students and me are inspirational forces for further
learning. It is my hope that my students leave my class with assiduous
aspirations for continuous learning and mastery of activities that are
required of them in their work environments. I consistently endeavor and act
with fairness, total respect for my students, and an inherent faith in their
ability to excel.
I provide the needed structure and framework for learning through my
lectures augmented by Power Point slides, films and continuous assessements
through on line quizzes and examinations. My teaching strategies
include reflection, active listening, and stimulating students to think
through class discussion, lectures, assignments, group and individual
consultation and a regularly maintained WebCT site specifically for each of
my classes to access specific class materials.
