As an educator, I have a strong commitment to the academic community and see my efforts as one link in a rich educational opportunity for students. It is my duty to spark interest, challenge, promote critique, and redefine their relationship to failure. My goal for any class I teach is to equip students with habits of ideation, an appetite for exploration, and a dedication to their areas of interest. Developing a critical thinking skill set will equip students with active engagement skills they can transfer to any learning or career experience. Below is a sample syllabus.
