TEACHING PORTFOLIO [Click to access]
My view on teaching is grounded in student-centeredness, curiosity and critical thinking, relationships, promoting diversity and inclusion, and teaching as a lifelong learning experience. For me, teaching transcends mere knowledge transfer; it involves fostering a dynamic learning environment that engages both students and professors, benefiting them equally. I see it as navigating a vessel alongside my students, where my role is to maintain equilibrium and propel toward a shared destination. And to fulfill this role, I seek to situate novel knowledge and practices in the field by integrating teaching and research into my work.

I was a student of Mr. Dahal at Kathmandu University, where he taught us television and radio production. He was always attentive and approachable, patiently guiding us through our questions and doubts. From the very first day, he encouraged us to practice our technical skills, which helped us gain confidence.
Mr. Dahal was one of the most impactful professors I’ve ever had. His way of teaching was engaging and inspiring, making every class something to look forward to. He had a gift for connecting with students and creating an environment where we felt comfortable sharing ideas and asking questions. He was always approachable, understanding, and willing to help with any problem, big or small. Radio Production became one of my favorite classes because he allowed us to explore our creativity while guiding us with his wisdom and encouragement. I’m truly grateful for the lessons I learned from him, both in and out of the classroom.
I had the privilege of being a student of Mr Dahal at Kathmandu University, School of Arts. He taught me Broadcasting and Radio production. My learning experience under his guidance has been extremely rewarding. His teaching style is clear, engaging, and focused on encouraging critical thinking rather than rote learning. He creates a classroom environment where students feel comfortable sharing their views and actively participating in discussions.
If I have to remember a few professors who have made a great impact on my life, Mr. Dahal is definitely on that list. His teaching style and the way he helped us apply theories to real life were truly life-changing. I took television production, radio production, and broadcasting classes with him. Thanks to his approach, I gained knowledge that has been tremendously helpful even now, as I pursue my PhD in performance studies. Before even joining my PhD program, the lessons I learned from him were invaluable, helping me secure an internship at Nepal’s only government radio station (Radio Nepal). Later, the television production class enabled me to get a job as a senior visual editor at a national television station (Janata Television), and the broadcasting skills continue to benefit me in event broadcasting. I am truly grateful to have had a professor like him. Thank you for making such a significant impact on my professional life. Even today, I strive to create an impact with my work.
