Meet your instructor

About Me:

I grew up in Minnesota and have a B.S. in Elem. Ed from ORU. I landed my first Teaching job in Klamath Falls and ended up teaching 33 years at Roosevelt Elementary (mostly fourth grade). There, I developed a reputation as the Art and Science guy, but enjoyed teaching all subjects especially when I could integrate the arts into them. I also ended up creating backdrops for school plays and programs which eventually transferred into my summer gig as a part time muralist. I have done many murals and large scale painting since, some of which can be seen driving around town. I am very fortunate to have this chance to teach this class at KCC.

Step 2: Syllabus

Read the syllabus

The syllabus will provide you with important information such as course details, instructor information, course requirements, course learning outcomes, grading and late work policies, and expectations for discussion board participation. Additionally, you can view important institutional policies and procedures, including information about netiquette and academic integrity. Please read the syllabus and carefully, and contact your instructor if you have any questions.
