Buck's Teaching Style & Approach

How do you present material to students?
I use multimedia with PowerPoint slides, videos, and the Internet.

I also lead individual and group activities such as games, practice dialogues, and presentations.

How do you interact and work with students?
With diverse students and backgrounds in mind, I develop coursework from a comprehensive and representative perspective.

I endeavor to establish a rapport with students that is rooted in the intellectual virtues of patience, industriousness, thoroughness, and care.

What kind of classroom dynamic do you promote?
Universal design is my choice of framework supported by respectful caring, responsible engagement, and responsive accountability as the three current core values in higher education.

I'm continuously learning myself, and I am committed to fostering a collaborative environment that results in fruitful discussion and discovery.
