That, and the opportunity to teach ‘law in context’. This approach is unique to Warwick, as we look at legal rules ‘in context’, to examine their social, political and economic effects.</p> <p><strong>Most memorable classroom moment: </strong>My most memorable moments usually are at the start of the academic year. During the first week, I try a number of exercises to get to know my students. The strategy is to find out their interests, passions, talents, and what they like and don’t like. This way, I can work out a plan for the rest of the year on how to unlock students’ potential and modify my teaching style accordingly, to getting the best out of each student.</p> <div class="buttons-component buttons-component-vertical"> <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/pressreleases/warwick_law_school/" class="btn btn-brand btn-lg">Andi's British Academy Rising Start Engagement Award<i class="fas fa-caret-right icon-end" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p> </p> <div class="layout-row layout-row--nowrap"> <div class="layout-col layout-col--6"> <div class="image-component full-width"> <picture> <img src="dr-david-bather-woods-800x600.png" alt="Dr David Bather Woods, University of Warwick"> </picture> </div> </div> <div class="layout-col layout-col--6"> <div class="container-component boxstyle_ box0"> <h3><strong>Dr David Bather Woods<br></strong><em>Department of Philosophy</em></h3> <p><strong>Awards:</strong> Warwick Award for Teaching Excellence</p> <p><strong> Describe your teaching style in one word:</strong> Enthusiastic</p> <p><strong>Favourite thing about teaching here:</strong> I get to relive something I am passionate about every day with my students. It can be something I return to again and again but, every time I talk to a new set of students, I’ll get different answers and different responses. I’ll learn new things about what I’m teaching, so it keeps my passion for the subject alive.</p> <p><strong>If you could teach any other subject at Warwick, what would it be and why?:</strong> Secretly, I have a strong side interest in Psychology, especially the history of psychiatry and psychotherapy. I think it’s related to my interest in the history of philosophy and also my love of teaching. Fundamentally, I’m fascinated by how individual people think.</p> <div class="buttons-component buttons-component-vertical"> <a
