Abstract

Reflecting on an earlier observation by Dr. Herb Thompson (Department of Economics) that most of us had to teach ourselves how to teach* , I realized early on in my career that the best way to describe my role as a teacher is that of a learning facilitator. Sometimes that entails leading the way, and other times it requires pointing directions and getting out of the way.
