You're a
TERRIBLE PROFESSOR
and sometimes, so am I
Lessons in modern teaching from the professors we swore we’d never become. Real classroom stories, real pedagogy, and real strategies you can use Monday morning.
I’ve spent decades teaching in, studying, and occasionally questioning higher education—from the community college classroom to graduate work in learning theory and instructional design. This book is a love letter to students… and a friendly shove for professors who know they can do better.
I help faculty build courses that are clearer, calmer, more humane, and more effective—without lowering standards or pretending constraints don’t exist.
From the book...
“Being a great professor is a complex set of skills, applied in a difficult and ever-changing environment, with the future of the world at stake. It’s like playing the violin, while riding a unicycle, while people throw tomatoes at you."
