Experience Summary
Within the last year at ITT Technical Institute, I have taught electronics engineering and programming language as an adjunct instructor.
From 1990 to 1996, while an adjunct instructor at Morton College, I taught the first Novell networking and Intell Assembler classes. I also taught the computer systems analysis and design, computer operations and Lotus 1-2-3 classes in the computer department. I also taught one section of the physical athropology course.
During the past twenty years, I continue to give presentations in astronomy and fossil collecting to elementary, high school and library groups.
Teaching Style
I employ a wide range of classroom techniques: analogies, relating theory to current applications, drawing upon "real world" work experiances as examples, student exercies and practices, among many others.
Also inviting students to participate in the discussions with their examples, experiences, or interests.
Suggesting extra readings, books, web-sites, groups, and other methods beyond the course requirements challenges the students to strive beyond their current limits.
