Overview & Performance
I have taught a variety of Information Systems courses, with a primary focus on core IS management, Master’s level telecommunications, and PhD research seminars. My teaching evaluations have been consistently high throughout my career, generally ranging between 4.7 and 5.0 on a 5-point scale. These quantitative scores are consistently above department and college averages and are complemented by very positive qualitative feedback.
