GIVE ONE FISH AND HE'S FED FOR ONLY A DAY, TEACH ONE HOW TO FISH AND 'LL BE FREE FROM HUNGER ALL HIS LIFE. Chinese Proverb.- [ The International Thesaurus of Quotations, ed. Rhoda Thomas Tripp, p. 76, no. 3 (1970).]

My goal is to foster students' intellectual well-being. My love of teaching (undergraduates and graduate students) complements my love of research. When teaching undergraduates, I make statistics accessible even for non-statistics majors.  I try to explain each topic in a variety of ways, knowing that everybody has a unique way of absorbing material. I not only write equations and draw graphs, but I also use auxiliary presentations every day. As I discuss each topic, I consistently ask for feedback from the students throughout my lectures.  By making the students feel welcome and at ease, the class atmosphere is very conducive to learning statistics. I give very demanding homework assignments and exams, always encouraging students to extend themselves mentally.
