Teaching Statement & Philosophy:

Here is a link to a 15 minute clip of a teaching demonstration I did for the JCCC Adjunct Certification Training (ACT) process:

There are three primary components to my teaching philosophy:

1. Keep it real2. Keep it relevant3. Keep it entertaining

Throughout the semester, I make the effort to align the topics we are covering to what is going on in the world today. In these timesand in this economy, that’s pretty easy to do:

Concepts of operating leverage, break-even point, and margin of safety are an essential aspect of the turnaround strategy ofGeneral Motors.

Financial leverage is at the heart of the financial collapse of 2008, and it continues to be the sludge in the gas tank of theeconomic recovery.

Massive fraud on an unprecedented scale continues to undermine investor confidence and impedes access to capital forbusinesses of all sizes. For extra credit, I encourage students to watch the movie Wall Street as well as Frontline’s The

Untouchables. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/untouchables/

I ask them to write their hearts out and convince me that greed is indeed “good,” or persuade me that banks are indeed “toobig to fail”. In my business, every day we depend on the financial analysis toolbox of critical metrics and ratios, time value of money

concepts, cost behavior, etc.
