I provide students with the tools they need to evaluate situations they encounter in the real world. When teaching politics, I teach students to analyze the incentives that drive state and individual political behavior. When teaching methods, I teach students how to apply the scientific method, emphasizing the value of different approaches to gathering and understanding information. I find that students come from diverse backgrounds and are interested in a variety of topics. My goal is always to help them succeed in understanding situations and solving problems they encounter inside and outside of the classroom.
