MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Students are my top priority
Education ought to be enjoyable and humour is crucial
Theory and Practice are equally important
I don’t know all there is to know; if I don’t know, I’ll ask you
There is no such thing as a stupid question
What you get out of any course depends on what you put into it
Students earn the grades; I record them (i.e.:Don’t ask for 2 marks)
Ethics and a respect for Diversity are crucial in business and must
govern any examination of gender issues
RESEARCH – I LOOK AT ETHICS IN ADVERTISING

MY PHILOSOPHIES OF LIFE
From Zen: No job is ever menial if it needs to be
done and you do it well,
No experience is ever wasted,
Live in the present; it’s all we’ll ever get, and:
Whatever befalls you, act as if you chose it.
From the Military: Choose your hill to die on
My number-one life-long philosophy:
Some you win, some you lose, some get rained out, but you suit up for
every game.
