CURRICULUM VITAE: M JACOBS

Highest academic qualification: M.Soc.Sc .(Nursing). I am a lecturer in the first year undergraduate nursing program. My field of experience is Child Psychiatry, Paediatric Nursing and Standardised Patient Simulated Learning.

My teaching philosophy:

I agree with Albert Einstein: “I never teach my students; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn”. Learning is not something done to students, but rather something students do themselves.
