I enjoy the live theater atmosphere of being in the classroom with my students. The
hallmark of a great lecture and lab is the two way communication and discussion that
takes place as we explore the material together. Learning should be, and can be, fun!
I present the Principles of Anatomy & Physiology (BIOL-1210 & 1220) for the SUNY CCC
Nursing program, the majors level presentation of Human Anatomy & Physiology (BIOL-2020
and 2030) for the doctorate and allied health professions, and the Biological Anthrophony
class (ANTH-2000).
I advise my students to constantly strive for excellence to master the material that
we are studying. These are the tools in their toolbox that they will use every day,
and what they will need to know to acquire more skills and knowledge as their education
continues. My classes require a lot of productive work, but it is very rewarding once
we master Anatomy & Physiology together. I grew up in East Corning back when it was
considered being out in the "sticks."
