Philosophy:
My philosophy for science class is to do my best to deliver difficult subject matter in a cohesive and understandable manner. I require that my students work hard and pay close attention while in my class. I realize that science is not easy for many people and I try to take that approach with all of my students. But I also realize that one cannot learn if they are not willing to try. I hold all of my students to a high standard and I expect them to do the same with me.
