Effective communication of course material is of utmost importance for a successful class. Because I instruct several beginning accounting courses for the College of Business, it is imperative that I present the material in an organized, coherent, and structured manner. I assign problems for homework, projects for reinforced learning, and in-class group work for further emphasis of the material. I also stress, throughout my courses, academic integrity because I believe this leads to professional integrity.
