My evaluations (from both...

As an instructor in Higher Ed I can attest that these "breakthrough" moments are possible, but harder to achieve in a classroom.

Consequently, I strive to create a stress-free environment where my students and I can have fun learning together.

Nothing gives me more satisfaction than when a student tells me "I'm really starting to enjoy learning about this," because...

We all want the correct answer, we all want the 100%...
