Educational Philosophy
Before coming to Southwestern, I was a physics instructor at a large
research institution. Introductory courses typically contained 200-250
students. My ability to have a consistent contact with individual students
was severely limited. In fact, I never even met many of the students in my
classes there. In contrast, the academic environment and small class size at
Southwestern encourage consistent, meaningful interactions between faculty
and students. In fact, I like teaching at Southwestern primarily because the
small class sizes allow me to interact with my students, both inside and
outside of class, at a level that is incomprehensible at large research
institutions. Contact Information Office: Beech 202
