Dear future students
At the first Organisational Behaviour class of every new academic year, an international student often asks me, “I'm studying engineering. Why do I need Organisational Behaviour?”
In short, Organisational Behaviour helps you become a more clear-minded person within an organisation.
I've been teaching for around five years, and I'm among the youngest international lecturers in the engineering school. I share many of my students' interests: karaoke, manga and games. Just don't try to play games secretly on your phone in my class. You might discover a very familiar game in one of my slides.
And please don't be afraid to speak because your English carries an accent or a dialect. If the right words don't come, try your first language. I can respond in Chinese, English, French and Spanish; my Japanese and Korean are a little less fluent!
I hope your journey brings you to Coventry — and perhaps into one of my classrooms.
