During last 14 years of teaching range of courses at various universities both as a  Lecturer and Laboratory Instructor; I have enjoyed my trip so far and have gained more experiences as a teacher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an environmental Science teacher, I believe that <strong>field trips<\/strong>, sampling practices and onboard experiments makes a big difference to the Classroom or Lab based teaching. There fore each semester I go to the field with my students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from teaching ,I have also <strong>co-supervised\/assisted as first reader<\/strong> with more than 10 students (B S.c &amp; MSc) for their Senior Project\/Thesis on collaboration with Dr.Mohammed Abu-Dieyeh, Dr. Mohammad A. Al-Ghouti, Dr.Radhouane Ben-Hamado, Dr.Jassim Al-Khayat, Dr.Perumal Balakrishnan,Dr.Najib and Dr. Juha Alatalo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Teaching Laboratory Session<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MARS 101-Introduction to Marine Science: I teach the non-biological components of Introduction to Marine Science, covering the fundamental physical, chemical, and geological processes that shape the oceans. Topics include the origin and structure of ocean basins, marine sediments, seawater properties, waves, tides, currents, and ocean\u2013atmosphere interactions. The course also introduces students to key concepts in ocean circulation, marine chemistry, and the role of the oceans in Earth\u2019s climate system. Emphasis is placed on linking fundamental oceanographic principles with real-world marine and environmental processes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Teaching Laboratory Session<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Environmental Science Program<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MARS 101, 222, 251 and 458 laboratory sessions<\/strong>: Teaching 1-3 sessions every Fall\/Spring semester which involves both lab lecture and Experimental Demonstration.
