My Goals For The Year
Demonstrate the importance of thinking to students and have students reason and not just memorize and repeat memorized material.

Why I Am Excited About Teaching
Stimulating students to major in chemistry or physics. Watching students evolve from freshmen who care more about grades than what they learn to seniors who work from college textbooks, do college labs and appreciate what they have accomplished.
