Teaching Experience |
|
During the current academic year, I am teaching a mixture of literature and composition classes for the Department of English and Modern Languages at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. English 104 (Science and Technical Writing) is in my course load just about every semester. Beyond that, I usually lead sophomore-level literature surveys English 208 (Survey of World Literature I), English 209 (Survey of World Literature II), or English 204 (Survey of American Literature). Finally, I normally teach two to three upper-division courses each year. |
Other classes I have taught at Shepherd University include:

Before coming to Shepherd, while I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at McDaniel College, I taught

And while working on my Ph.D. at The George Washington University (GW), I taught two sections of English 10 (Freshman Composition) and two sections of English 11 (Research Writing). Before starting the program at GW, I taught on an adjunct basis at Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC), specifically at NVCC’s main campus in Annandale, Virginia. At NVCC I taught three sections of English 112 (Introduction to Literature) and one section of English 116 (Writing for Business) at NVCC. |

Besides the experience I’ve had teaching at McDaniel, GW, and Northern Virginia Community College, I also taught for one year at the Friedrich Ebert Gymnasium (FEG) in Hamburg, Germany. I was a Fulbright Scholar to Germany in 1988 – 89, and the award I received gave me the opportunity to teach English twelve hours a week in a German academic high school and to attend the University of Hamburg. |
