Teaching Philosophy
I am firm believer that there is no one single method of learning. Thus, I try to present information in a number of different ways, using a number of different instructional techniques in order to capitalize on the learning styles of as many students as possible. In addition, I believe very strongly in the application of knowledge as a means of enhancing understanding and retention. Thus, all of my courses have a very strong practical application component.

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They do not know evil, jealously, or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring- it was peace." -Milan Kundera
