Teaching

Currently, my classes are run through the University of Arkansa's Blackboard portal. Sample syllabi are given below. The template for Fall 2019-Spring 2020 is available here. The template 2021-2026 is a design I created in MacPages. Starting in Fall 2026, I switched to .docx files in order to meet the newest federal accessibility standards for digital content.

I have added a little extra material for some courses. Please (please!) inquire if you have any questions about the courses I have taught or would like to see more materials.
