When describing her teaching approach, Carolyn expresses: “I am primarily passionate about mastering the art of learning. I get excited about learning, and hopefully my students catch the enthusiasm. My classes involve a blend of lectures supported by numerous visuals and hands-on activities. Skills for academic success are acquired through practice. Therefore, once students grasp a concept, my aim for them is to hone the skills through practice and adapt them to suit their needs. Students in my class can anticipate assignments due each class session. My approach may seem informal and somewhat laid-back, but each class is meticulously designed with objectives and goals in mind. I am highly demanding but like to believe that I am patient. I strive to ensure that everything we do in class is reinforced on the website.”
