I have the pleasure to teach Ecology and Introduction to Research at LUC!  My courses are interactive and focus on providing opportunities for active learning.  In my courses, my goals are to help students learn the fundamental content to achieve basic scientific literacy. Second, I believe students should practice effective communication skills, such as writing and public speaking, which allows them to share this literacy with others. Finally, I try to provide students opportunities to develop as independent problem solvers and critical thinkers by being active learners. I believe these goals can be accomplished by creating a challenging, diverse, atmosphere that includes multiple opportunities for students to learn.
