Fast Facts
2008
My principles and introductory-level classes are primarily lecture-based with a focus on applying the information learned through homework and group work. My upper-level classes are more research-based with the intent of providing opportunities for students to write papers that can be submitted to research journals and conference presentations.
I enjoy working with the students and encouraging them to expand their academic skills in areas that best fit their gifts and abilities.
Economics is a way of thinking about the world that can be applied to any activity engaged in by individuals, firms, or governments. There is nothing to which the simply tools of supply, demand, price and quantity cannot be applied.
