Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. -- An ancient Chinese proverb

Zang's teaching philosophy:

  • The ultimate goal of my teaching is to teach students to learn actively -- to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills.

  • I de-emphasize memory work, but stress the importance of applying knowledge in the problem sets and laboratory assignments.

  • Teaching is not simply lecturing to students, it is more about communication and discussion.

  • The best way to learn is to "think like a scientist".
