Research Interest

Teaching Interests

Ezzeldin Yazeed believes that a good instructor should help students answer questions they do not know yet how to ask. Furthermore, he always accepts the fact that whatever is learned and mastered for some time will always be surpassed by what will work better; he always accepts to replace what he knows with what works better. In teaching, his primary teaching objective is to offer students a skilled-based learning experience as opposed to a knowledge-based one. He is always adopting teaching paradigms, which are learner-centered. He is interested in new teaching/learning pedagogy, which includes, but are not limited to: Blended learning, Flipped Classrooms, Student-generated examinations and classes, Design competitions.
