Examples of Student Work
At both Waynesburg and Baldwin Wallace, my goal is helping students develop skills and competencies to succeed in the real world. To that end, I believe students draw more value from real-world application of in-class concepts during the learning process. As such, I design nearly all my classes so that in-class work has the potential to be incorporated with a departmental co-curricular activity like the newspaper, television or radio station, or Digital Media Clinic.
