Students love ideas.
Many just don't know it yet.
Like Socrates, I see my role as a teacher as that of a midwife: I want to help my students give birth to their own ideas and work hard to see the world more clearly. Discussing ideas with students is almost always the highlight of my work day. On the best days, I learn as much as they do. In 2012, I was honored to receive the New Faculty Teaching Award at Fort Lewis College.
