Teaching and Learning Concepts:

I believe in the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education (Chickering, A.W. and Gamson, Z.F., AAHE Bulletin, 1987, 39 (7), 3-7), which follow:

1. Encourage Student-Faculty Contact
2. Encourage Cooperation among Students
3. Encourage Active Learning
4. Give Prompt Feedback
5. Emphasize Time on Task
6. Communicate High Expectations
7. Respect Diverse Talents and Ways of Learning
