"My teaching philosophy is rooted in exploration and curiosity. Students should be encouraged to pursue professional and academic interest areas, no matter how niche, to innovate the field of exercise science. Group projects, interdisciplinary cooperation, and community outreach should be key aspects for students to develop critical thinking abilities and turn theory into practice. Students should be encouraged to challenge themselves intellectually and not allow those challenges to stop after they receive their degree. This pursuit of lifelong learning, and lifelong fitness, are two of the most important skills I hope my students take away from their time in college.” - Jonathan Houck, Ph.D.
