Teaching

I really love teaching political science. The setting does not matter to me; small classes, large classes, or even huge classes. Also, I truly enjoy teaching undergraduates because of their malleable beliefs and attitudes (more open to new information and perspectives). This said, I have never been an advocate for a certain political, partisan, and/or ideological agenda. My task, as I see it, is to do my best to explain how politics works. I have taught my own courses since being an American Government instructor in my last year as a doctoral student at the University of Texas in 2005.
