My principal objectives as a teacher are: (1) to provide opportunity for students to practice critical
thinking, reading, and writing skills, while supplying the historical and theoretical background which
informs careful and accurate scholarship, and then to clearly, fairly, and encouragingly, evaluate their
endeavors; (2) to equip students to critique their own work both editorially and rhetorically; and (3) to
promote the curiosity, questioning, and enjoyment of texts, which are the hallmarks of lifelong
learners.
