Describing your teaching style:
Mostly lecture by giving notes and working many examples, some student work at the
board, and some group work. I am available outside of class in my office and also
by e-mail or phone.
What do you like most about teaching?
Interaction with students, believing that I help them attain their goals of college
degrees, seeing the looks on their faces when students understand the concepts.
What do you like least about teaching?
Having to assign a grade of "F" to students who have done their very best, but didn't
have a passing average.
What do you expect from your students?
Their very best: attending class, doing their homework and attending the math lab
and my office hours when needed.
What should they expect from you?
Teaching the material to the best of my abilities and being available to them outside
of class.
Areas of interest outside the classroom:
Family, church, cats, snow skiing, crossword and jigsaw puzzles, and the Tennessee
Titans
