Teaching
I follow the words of Joseph Joubert, "To teach is to learn twice over". It is my strong conviction that one learns the most when one teaches something to others. I obtained the Fellowship of the Advance Higher Education Academy in November, 2022.

Examples of anonymous student reviews on teaching:
{Intermediate Microeconomics: 2nd Year UG, Exeter} "Dr. Arpita Ghosh is an exceptional educator who prioritizes meaningful learning over simply earning credits. Her dedication and responsible teaching approach have deeply inspired me to focus on gaining knowledge and understanding, encouraging me to engage actively and grow academically."
{Economics of Crime: 3rd Year UG, Exeter} "Arpita is a fantastic lecturer and one of the most engaging I've had in my time at university. Her passion for the subject is contagious and every week of content has been interesting. All the topics have been enjoyable and the seminars engaging. Arpita also has been very supportive with her guidance for the individual assignment and delivered helpful sessions on writing literature reviews ..."
{Economics of Crime: 3rd Year UG, Exeter} "Arpita was very passionate about her topic and knows a lot about the research landscape which she brought into the lectures, I really liked the use of experiments, studies and literature reviews to contextualise the lecture content. I also think the assessments being so open is very different to other modules and I really enjoyed that freedom."
{Law and Economics: 3rd Year UG, Exeter} "I found Dr Arpita Ghosh's seminars incredibly engaging. They were both incredibly informative with relation to course content, as well as encouraged us to question the assumptions and dig deeper into the framework. For me, the level of participation in the seminars was noticeably higher than in any other Economics module I've had before, which I think was mostly a result of Dr Ghosh not treating the questions as `one right answer' and rather focusing on getting us to critically engage with the whole topic."
{Labour Economics: 3rd Year UG, Exeter} "Arpita is a fantastic seminar tutor, I look forward to every class as the sessions are engaging, she explains things clearly and really encourages participation."
{Economics for Management: 1st Year UG, Exeter} "Arpita is a very supportive professor. I love the fact that she takes time to consider every doubt. She's very clear with her approach and includes discussions. I love how she takes my jokes between lectures because it eases my tension and actually helps me pay attention."
{Introduction to Finance: 1st Year UG, Exeter} "Of particular note is the lecturer’s dedication to the class, frequently offering opportunities to clarify students’ queries during lecture, in weekly online calls, in office hours, or on the online forum. I have very much enjoyed this module."
{Applied Econometrics 2: PG, Exeter} "I used to be a student in your econometrics 2 lessons for financial economics, and I thoroughly enjoyed the way you explained everything. Your support was one of the main reasons why I managed to get a distinction in the final exam, and I am very grateful."
{Probability and Probability Distributions: 1st Year UG, Leicester} "Ms Ghosh was significantly better as her delivery of her seminars were more concise and lively evoking greater interest in the subject. Additionally, she went the extra mile in helping each student and catering to the different skill levels through opening her availability outside her office hours."
{Maths for Economics: 1st Year UG, Leicester} "My seminar leader was Miss Ghosh. I think she is possibly the best maths teacher I have ever had. She shows us exactly how to display answers to get full marks and everything is set out and explained in detail and very clearly. Nobody in the class is afraid to ask questions about the content as she makes us feel very comfortable during class and encourages us to ask questions as many times as we need to understand the content. I don’t think there could be any improvements to be made. I hope to have her for next semester too."
