Teaching

My primary teaching responsibilities are teaching the laboratory section of ExSp 458 Principles of Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription. The course has an applied focus and the laboratory sections extend that even further. My goal as an instructor is to assist the students in developing the needed skills to the best of their abilities. I feel that the students learn best by practicing the skills. Of course, they need to practice the skills correctly. I take a very hands-on approach, explaining the correct technique(s), the theory(ies) underlying these techniques, and then demonstrating the skills.
