Student comments on my presence as an instructor
"Professor Celeste is very knowledgable on the subject, and is an extremely kind and caring person. I personally loved this class, the structure, the subject, and the instructor."

"Your enthusiasm and passion really helped me and engaged the whole class!"
I leverage my professional experience, network of corporate/venture contacts and pedagogical training in a varied portfolio of strategies to reach learners of all types
"After taking the first course, I was impressed by how you deliver what you’re thinking about this course and trying to fit the course direction with students who’re taking the course."
"Professor has good knowledge on subject, in class discussions and presentations helped. Assignments connected well to the content."
"Using real companies and guests talking about real-life situations to break down various models and topics really helped me visualize the concepts and how to apply them."
"Really enjoy when we have discussions as it is intellectually stimulating. Discussion based learning is much easier with this content."
"I have had a problem... having a clear mind. I don't always have thoughts right then and there in class, which would then cause me to stay quiet and not participate. I am embarrassed... it's just my reality... She understood that, and gave us a chance by simply having a class participation comment file on canvas we could comment in before the end of the day of our thoughts or ideas to that days class lecture."
"The professor’s quizzes was in short essay form which enables me to learn and understand the course materials better." "The quizzes also helped me get a big picture of what we were going to talk about that day."
"I also love the group discussions and activities throughout the semester. I felt more engaged and motivated to speak." "In this course I learned through the examples, group activities and break-out sessions."
"The Professor always provide useful feedback for lectures and assignments"
I have a growth mindset and continually invest in improving my effectiveness as an educator
