My rationale and approach to education are founded on what I valued as a student, and what made my favorite professors so effective as educators. To me, an excellent lecturer/teacher is a fusion of passion, academic authority, imagination, organization, clarity, and respect. That pretty well sums up my teaching philosophy.
