Teaching
At Schoolcraft College, I have a joint appointment in the departments of English and history. I also teach classes both in the traditional classroom as well as online.
My classes do not follow the traditional lecture/exam model. Instead, there is much student interaction and participation. A general description of my approach to teaching is found in my teaching philosophy. Specific examples of classroom assignments can be found throughout this web site; especially in the sections I have designed for each of the classes I teach.
Information for Students
- Mini-Lessons
In class, I often give “mini-lectures” about various aspects of writing and research. Some of those lectures are reproduced as online mini-lessons.
- Handouts
Some of the handouts I have developed are available on-line.
- Tutorials
I have developed a number of on-line tutorials.
- Promoting Academic Integrity
One of the areas in which I have done much research is in designing materials that promote academic integrity.
- Best Practices
My best practices are the pedogogical practices of which I am most proud.
Continuous Improvement
I am a firm believer in reflective action and continuous improvement. I not only encourage students to do this, but model the practice myself.
In December 2006, I began a teaching blog in which I share some of those reflections.
