Teaching Style
I use the traditional explain-show/demonstrate approach supplemented with having students work on less to more complex examples followed up by solutions with detailed explanations.
My Hobbies
I enjoy good books, movies, and plays. I regularly exercise at the gym. I like yard work when it is cool.
Other Comments
I am considered to be a "fair and balanced" teacher. I do not expect more than what a student has to give but I do expect that they put in the preparation time needed to learn a topic.
I am also considered to be an excellent "explainer" and communicator.
