Philosophy

The main focus of my teaching style is to expect more from the students than they think they are capable of at first.  While I tend to believe a class should be challenging, I also make it accessible to all my students.  My lectures tend to be highly varied and I use the web extensively for disseminating information to my students.  My exams consist of multiple choice, short answer, essay and application question and try to integrate the knowledge they have gained in novel ways, rather than simply asking for them to repeat my lectures.  Most of all I try to impart even a small fraction of my wonder and amazement in the subject to my students.  I hope all my students enjoy my class and take away something valuable and useful.
