Whether you are taking a class because you love the subject or because you need the class to meet a graduation requirement, I am here to help you succeed.  You are not alone.  With lectures designed to present key ideas in a contemporary context, worksheets designed to guide students through the informational content in the textbook, and stimulating small-group activities incorporated into the lectures, you will be provided the tools you need to succeed.

Biology can be hard to understand sometimes, but it is also fascinating! A basic understanding of biology will help you to better understand yourself and the world around you.  It may be very useful in whatever job you end up with in the future.

Everyone has questions from time to time.  That is part of learning.  Do not feel shy about asking questions before, during or after class.  I will be happy to answer such questions or will work out an appointment at my office if the answer takes longer than the time available.

 

Take advantage of my office hours.   If you still need help beyond this, then free tutoring may be available through NKU Learning PLUS: Their offices are located in University Center 170. The phone number is (859) 572-5475. Visit:  http://lap.nku.edu/academictutoring/about.html 

My specialty within the realm of biology is the study of insects, or entomology.  Everyone runs into insects at some time or another in their home or in the great outdoors.  If you find something and want to know more about it (or how to get rid of it), just put the bug in a bag or jar and bring it in to me.  I will be happy to tell you all about that little creature.

This is a special offer to my current and past students, as well as other members of the NKU community.
