Teaching Portfolio
My goal is to help students take responsibility for their own education through applicable assignments, engaging activities, and opportunities for individual exploration. As students find efficacy in their own learning abilities, they often learn to love learning.
"Ryan is an excellent instructor... His lecture was clear and engaging, and I have no doubt that he would be able to effectively teach a number of courses related to interpersonal, emotional, and nonverbal communication."
Teaching Paradigm
Professional Goals
"Ryan displays and enacts verbal and nonverbal immediacy behaviors allowing his class to be... comfortable and willing to participate and respond to any questions. He has clearly built a rapport with these students."
