My higher
learning educational background starts at
My areas of
research and publications have been related to monetary theory, domestic and
international banking and education finance. Current research activities
include an examination of risk preferences of savers and inheritance tax laws.
My major areas
of instruction are in money and banking, macroeconmics, financial institutions
and principles of economics. My philosophy of teaching starts with the idea
that education is a process of enhancing and, to some extent, stimulating
learning by students. Depending upon the level, students enter the classroom
with a set of skills and knowledge. The teacher draws on these skills and
knowledge and uses education to further extend the skill and knowledge base of
students. My personal view of teaching assumes that students have as much
learning ability as the instructor. Thus, the instructor who has more
experiences and training in a given area is simply a facilitator in the
education process.
