Teaching Statement

My primary objective as a teacher is to help students move beyond remembering material to understanding and application.  I try to create an environment with opportunities to discuss the application of course material, emphasizing how it relates to other courses in the program and their lives.  Using a team based learning approach allows students more classroom time to apply the lecture material and discuss questions.  It also allows me an opportunity to see what parts of the material students may be having difficulty with.
