Educational Philosophy:
I believe
that, as an instructor, I should pass on my knowledge in a way that will be
interesting, thought provoking, and above all useful to my students.
For EVOC518
I am NOT currently
officially enrolled in EVOC 518 (but plan to do so as soon as the health
department unblocks my registration). I have reviewed all the materials in the
EVOC 518 E-TEXT and will collect all of the EVOC 518 assignments into a
portfolio which I will mail to the course instructor, postmarked not later than
March 8th, 2005. I understand that Portfolios may not be returned
and will keep copies of all of the materials in the portfolio I produce.

About the school:
The Mt. San Jacinto
Community College District was formed in 1962 by a vote of the citizens in
Banning,
The college enrolled its
first students in the fall of 1963, holding classes in rented facilities. The
San Jacinto Campus was opened in 1965 with two buildings and has grown into a
comprehensive college campus serving the needs of students and the community.
In 1975, the residents of Temecula,
In response to this intense
growth, Mt. San Jacinto College opened its Menifee Valley Campus in October
1990. By the end of its first year, there were 2,100 students attending classes
at the Menifee Valley Campus. Today the campus serves more than 7,000 students
each semester.
I began teaching
at MSJC in the fall of 1988. In the
spring of 1989 I taught the very first class in computerized engine
control. Without the skill and knowledge
to do so, I wrote the curriculum, lesson plans, course outline, and exams for
this class. Thankfully, I got some help
from education classes at UCR during the next summer and fall and so was able
to do a better job the following year.
I taught computerized engine controls until fall of 2002 when interest
in the class had dwindled to the point of insufficient enrollment to continue
the class. Since them I have substitute
taught for Steering and Suspension, and Brake and Front End classes, and taught
ASE certification preparation in the spring of 2003.
I am
scheduled to teach ASE certification preparation in the spring of 2005 on
Friday nights. Fortunately, this class
is lecture only and has a low stress curriculum.
