Falcon

Teaching is exhilarating. I never feel more energized than after a class that has gone well. Each time I teach, I aim to perpetuate knowledge and inspire learning. I believe that the amount of learning is strongly influenced by the amount and type of student participation. I invite my students into the course material by encouraging active and participatory learning. Simulations, debates, role playing, and games are a regular part of my classes.
