I believe in the use of all forms of media for the conveyance of an idea. I believe that all teaching forms if implemented by an understanding, knowledgeable and dedicated instructor can yield outstanding results for a student. I believe that self motivated students make the best learners. I believe that students who find a personal interest in the material being presented stand the greatest chance of learning and retaining the information. Although I do believe a community environment promotes knowledge sharing I think that knowledge is gained through personal experience and much less likely through a 2nd person adventure such as is the case with purely group activities.

I enjoy teaching immensely and only hope that I continue to have the opportunity to do so. As an instructor I believe I have an obligation to be relevant, accessible and helpful to students in any area of study. I teach in a very business oriented, reality driven way. That is to say that example labs and exercises are based on real world examples and situations that I have been involved in during my professional career.

How do I think I accomplish these goals? I teach hands on using web, discussion, videos and tutorials. What do I expect from a student? Have relevant interests. Be concerned about the materials you are learning. Engage in your work at home and while at DeVry.
