My Teaching Philosophy

Students are my top priority
Education ought to be enjoyable
What matters most is helping students learn how to learn. One of the neatest things a student ever said to me, about my Consumer Behaviour course, "You taught me so well that I feel I could teach the course myself"!
Theory and practice are equally important
Teaching and Research as two sides of the same coin
What you get out of anything depends on what you put into it
There is no such thing as a stupid question 
Students earn the grades; I record them
Ultimately it's all connected, everything to everything else, and one of the joys of education and scholarship is discovering those links

Teaching Awards

My proudest accomplishment is being awarded the Atkinson Alums Teaching Excellence Award in 1996, one of the things in my career of which I am particularly proud because it is awarded by the students.
