I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.      – Albert Einstein

I have retired as of May 2011 after 30 years of teaching, 19 of them at Stetson. I still hang around from time to time, and I respond to email. My title is "Professor, Emeritus." Professor is the top rank, after associate professor and assistant professor. The designation "emeritus" is an honor conferred on retirees of some distinction. After a long time in this profession, I think that the verb "to teach" is often misunderstood. If you're interested, I have a bit to say about teaching and learning.

There is always a bird on my web page. The Common Nighthawk is my favorite, a bird of understated beauty sometimes heard at dusk. If you look carefully, you'll see him zig-zagging high above patrolling for insects. Click the picture to hear his plaintive call. If you'd like, you can read about birding and my other interests and hobbies, look at my professional vitae, or read student FAQs.
