Teaching is a passion of mine, and I view it as a deep civic responsibility. In this age of rapid technological disruption, I seek to both advance the technical skills of my students and instill in them a deep, humanistic understanding of the world—developing human capital in the fullest sense of the term.
My teaching philosophy is centered around:
Establishing an incentive structure that balances ideal conditions for learning with the need for self-discipline and organization.
Maximizing AI and LLMs as learning tools, not coasting devices. Take-home work is no longer viable. Every point must be earned in class.
Evidence based approaches. I combine on-the-board lectures with an active in-class component to give students exposure, practice, and feedback.

Earth Science
