| "My favorite topics to
teach are Biology and Calculus. I love to teach evolution because
it ties the entire study of Biology together and helps the students
to understand why organisms look and act like they do. In Calculus,
I love to teach about solids of revolution because of the 'wow'
factor I see in my students.
I like teaching Lake Ridge students because
they are motivated to learn. If they don't understand something,
I can trust them to ask questions. I love questions! I believe
it is also important for faculty to continue to ask questions
and show the students that we are all lifelong learners. Therefore,
I have continued to take classes myself . I try to relate
to my students by treating them as real people with ideas,
values, and feelings. I feel that if I show them respect they
will trust that I value them as a person. I also try to let
them have a window into who I am so they can value me as a
person as well as their teacher. Everything is a two-way street."
