Why I teach

I love students, talking to them, helping them learn. Mostly, I love learning from my students.

What I've Learned

Encourage lively discussion and debate from students in classes. The less I talk the more they learn.

Observe students' individual strengths.

I don't grade on a curve. I prefer to grade a student according to his or her demonstrated ability to improve and grow during the process of mastering the course material.

Encourage humor.

Journalism is exciting and advertising is fun.

I respect the original insights students bring to their work and acknowledge those moments when students are smarter than I am.
