Teaching Interests
My primary teaching interest is EC3100
International Economics. This course is required for SBE majors and is often
elected by non-SBE majors. It is a policy-oriented course intended to provide
an understanding of current international economic issues (such as
I believe that the ultimate aim of a course is student learning and that a
good teacher is one who provides every opportunity for students to learn,
understand, and apply course material. Good teachers not only present course
material but facilitate student learning of this material through applications,
relevant examples, and frequent testing. In my EC3100 classes, I allow students

scores on their first attempt at the tests. On average, this procedure has
raised the average GPA of the class by about 0.15 since it was instituted.

and consultant. Besides my two years in Saudi Arabia, I spent the summer of
1965 as an undergraduate at the University of Nssuka (Nigeria), traveled

Ph.D. dissertation, spent six months in France in 1972 for language training,
taught two years in the Ivory Coast, revisited the Ivory Coast in the summer of
1978 as a consultant for the National Bureau of Economic Research, and
consulted for the World Bank in Liberia during the summers of 1979 and 1980. I
took advantage of these overseas opportunities to visit most countries on the
Arabian Peninsula and in western Africa and Europe, as well as
