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...
“I hope you’ll see yourself in both the terrible and great examples, that you’ll approach this journey with a sense of curiosity, and that above all else, you will develop greater empathy for your students and the challenges they face during this very unique phase of life."
