I'm looking for serious students
who are interested in quality

This page is a junction that links to further descriptions of my courses. Before you click on the links that follow to get to that information, you should be aware of the following.

• Neither the world nor medical schools are impressed with someone who can memorize information but cannot use information.
• I endeavor to challenge students, and I expect students to embrace that challenge in active learning.
• An educated person can use information creatively to solve problems they have not met before. We will polish your skills in these areas.
• An educated person has a command of the language and uses and pronounces words in a manner that shows their skills. We will polish your skills in these areas.
• I design non-embarrasing courses -- that is, I do not want you to embarass yourself or this college by going out into the world and revealing that you were not educated in these courses.
• I use some formats that are not traditional, but I do not subscribe blindly to educational fads.
• Sometimes a low-tech approach is the best way to develop a state-of-the-art mind.
• I assess skills and progress toward pragmatic goals with a variety of exams and exercises.

If you are interested in constructive challenge

and in learning new and important carry-over skills

while learning a lot about yourself,

you will be interested in these courses.

Read what recent students said about Biology 222 and Biology 333 and what alumni sent in unsolicited evaluations from life experience.
