updated 2/12/2010 The primary responsibility of any faculty member is obviously that to the students, both in and out of the classroom.  The advantage we have at LSSU over high profile, research-oriented universities is our desire and ability to relate to undergraduate students on a one-to-one basis.  This personal approach to education is critical in keeping the focus on students rather than the latest grant cycle or the need to crank out publications. I take course preparation very seriously and continually strive to make improvements to the content and presentation of lecture and laboratory activities.  For larger, freshman and sophomore level courses, organization and the ability to explain difficult concepts in different ways are critical for success.  For smaller, upper division courses, I present assignments and exams that challenge students to synthesize new information with previously acquired knowledge.
