Teaching Philosophy
College is a place for exploring all sorts of things and figuring out what you want your next adventure in life to be. In my classes, its not about being right, or already knowing everything there is to know, but about giving the work your authentic "best effort," being open to new ideas and challenges, maintaining clear and open communication, staying on top of things, organizing yourself and managing your time well. Visit me during office hours so we get to know one another and allow me to guide you for 16 weeks at a time.
