I come from a family of teachers: my mother taught high school English, art, and drama for three decades in Vermont (she still directs plays at the school) and my brother teaches high school science in Seattle. We take this stuff seriously... And as a college teacher, I think and work very hard to help students develop the independent critical thinking skills you'll need to thrive on your own. I will push you (skip a trip to Rate My Professor and let me just tell you that) but I also support you and work really hard to design assignments and activities and readings that will unlock the full potential of our course topics, as well as your abilities to use them!
