Manoa’s Meritorious Teachers

Physics and Astronomy

His workload duties have steadily expanded during the past nine years, and now includes three to four physics and astronomy courses each semester, plus physics lab supervision, astronomy lab coordination, lecture-demonstration improvement, undergraduate physics-major advising, student professional club advising and service on both campus and departmental committees.
Nassir serves as a member of the Faculty Senate’s General Education Committee and provides analytical skills in dealing with trends in student behavior and improving undergraduate education.
