Faculty Introduction

I enjoy both, writing and teaching, not necessarily in that order. I’ve been writing stories and poems since I was eight years old. I have published a few of the things I have written, in print and online. I have a Master’s degree in English from the University of Miami. Currently, I am researching certain aspects of folk literature and of literary criticism, and I plan to write a book about each of the two things, separately, when I am done with my research. I haven’t been to every continent on the planet but I have seen a couple of places around the world and I have taught at least one student from each and every country in the world. I love learning about each of my students – your language, your culture, and anything else you want to share with me.

  • Course Prerequisites: None

Course Attendance and Participation Policy
During the first week of class, you must complete an activity from the online orientation or you will be withdrawn from the course. Simply logging into the course will not satisfy your attendance during this time. As with an on-campus course, students who are reported for non-attendance in an online course and are withdrawn are still responsible for paying for the course. If you do not complete the requirements of the first week of class, you should drop the course by the official drop/add deadline or expect to pay for the course.
It is very important for you to actively participate in this online class. If you stop participating in class discussions, do not submit assignments, or fail to take quizzes or tests prior to the withdrawal date, you will be withdrawn from class and receive a W or, if it is your third attempt, an F.

If you stop participating after the withdrawal date, you will receive an F. To avoid this situation, you should remain an active learner in this class and always communicate extenuating circumstances to your instructor. Ongoing communication with the instructor is critical to your course success. Completion of tests, assignments, and other class activities are used as indicators of your participation in order to satisfy this reporting requirement.  See the list of activities required for participation and attendance on the General Course Policies page.
