Biography
In my class you can anticipate a lot of class discussion. I routinely call all on my students to answer tough questions that require them to think outside their comfort zone. Students are strongly encouraged to bring questions to class and participate in class discussions. I believe keeping up to date with the reading in the textbook is critical for student success and I have brief quizzes weekly to reward students who keep up with the reading. If you enjoy participating in interesting class discussions and keep up with the assigned reading you will do well in my class.
