Values and Expectations


Homepage  

  • I value honesty, courtesy, and hard work. I look for those qualities in my students, and I try to offer those qualities as a teacher. They're hard qualities to maintain.
  • I am convinced that strong writing and reading skills make a difference in our careers and in the quality of our lives, and that every sincere effort to improve those skills will ultimately pay off.
  • I am genuinely enthusiastic about the content of the courses I teach. I don't expect my students always to share that enthusiasm, but I like it if they pretend to.
