Writing for business and professions/Teaching approach

Teaching Approach

 * I believe that when learners are motivated, they are more likely to learn.
 * Students EARN good grades by doing the work and learning required. (I do notice improvement throughout the term.)
 * I am aware that juggling school, work, family, friends and relationships is stressful. Organizational skills and time management are as important, as ensuring that students adjust their expectations of themselves and their performance - and take time to adapt - to new situations, contexts, systems and processes. It will come, over time.
 * As I am teaching adults (18+), then I consider you to be adults - LEARNING IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
 * I prefer short lectures, and actively facilitated, guided and experiential discussions and 2-way, interactive activities.
 * ACTIVE AND SUBSTANTIVE PARTICIPATION IS ESSENTIAL.
 * Use of visuals (i.e.., images, videos) are encouraged.
 * No computers, tablets or smartphones in class, unless otherwise authorized.
 * As an Adult Learner, DO NOT WAIT until you receive a "C", "D", or even an "F" on a paper, and go into high-stress, panic-mode. And yes, we certainly don't want you to fail the course. Reach out to me when you need assistance.
