Teaching

I do not have a fancy philosophy of education nor do I use "cutting edge pedagogy" – I  just teach & try to make it fun.

I served as the chair of the psychology department for a decade, and I am particularly proud of the fact that at least 110 of my former students have earned doctorates in psychology or a closely related field. 

I can confidently say that I have taught more students than any other professor in the history of Knox College: more than 11,000 students in over 20 different courses throughout my career.  I also coauthored peer-reviewed journal articles or conference presentations with 61 different undergraduate students.
