About me

My real love is Public Speaking on Motivation. I have done is many times.

I went to college at age 38, graduating at age 48, then again entering college at age 56 and graduating at age 58. I have been teaching now 14 years and love every minute.

I learn, I love, and teaching and retaining retention are my goals. I teach business and enjoy what every student brings, particularly the tough ones.

I always appreciate advice and ask for it when I say, "Your thoughts".

Bio:

Raised on a farm in upstate New York near Canadian border. Naive, secluded and unaware, I grew up fast when I went to the city to make a living with a child. Difficult but learning experience taught me what I didn't want, but was a secretary for many years.

Enjoy my many friends, dining out, movies, laughing and reading is my passion.

How do other teachers deal with students who have severe personal challenges?

I have the family severe problems and I give them sympathy and say, I will help with an extension. Then I notify Student Services of the problem. End of story. We can only help so much.

Pre-recorded lectures

I lecture Accounting 101 and my students love the way I form a company and how to do the accounting. All of them pass because I do video's,,,only way to learn that.

self reflection on the course

As an experienced teacher, I find that in some areas, I am but a baby! How much I don't know and now that I took EL-103, my first course, I will endeavor to put into practice areas I am deficient in, plus take more courses. I am not too old to learn!

Ditto..Juliet. I have always believed that appearance is "almost" everything, along with lots of knowledge of the subject. Glad to hear it addressed.
