Fast Facts
My classes are very hands-on with computer applications. Students will read the assigned materials prior to class and complete a combination in in class and outside of class assignments. I like to tie in why the material is important to the students from a business view vs focusing on the how-to of the assignments
I love the combination of teaching smaller classes with students who have a passion to learn. AU allows the freedom for all people to express their faith and not hide it.
Every student, no matter what future job they obtain will have to learn how to analyze and report data. From the front-line receptionists to the CEO.
All the students I have enter acted with are focus on learning and not just getting a passing grade. That has not always been the case in other schools that I have taught.
