favorite class to teach @ SU & why: My favorite Schreiner class is Global Issues because it allows me to examine with students the key international matters affecting our lives today.


why do you like Schreiner? Schreiner is more than a community of scholars - it is a family. The closeness of faculty and students makes the learning process so much easier and effective. Instant feedback from students in our small classes helps me shape the classroom experience to make sure the desired learning outcomes are being met. Closeness also describes the relationships among the Schreiner faculty and between the faculty and the administration. This assures that we share a common vision about what we are determined to achieve here. The beauty of our campus and the hill country that surrounds us is pretty nice too.
