In order to make course material as accessible as possible to all types of learners, I have employed certain teaching innovations. One is an on-line course supplement system (designed with Dr. Mark Wickert) that allows students to download course notes, assignments, solutions, example simulations and the like. The system is database driven, and notifies students which files are new and which have changed since the student last visited the site.

I have also typset all my lecture notes (and lab readers) for each course I teach (over 2000 typset pages), which is valuable to the students as they come to class with clean copies of everything I teach, allowing them to focus on the content of each lecture and not on furiously scribbling their own notes. They can then augment my notes with their own as they wish.

The quality of my teaching has been recognized with high student survey results on the “faculty course questionaires”, and with two awards: The Campus “2004 UCCS Innovations in Teaching with Technology Award”, and the College “2004 Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award” (both jointly with Dr. Mike Ciletti). These awards were granted based on our innovative half theory, half hands-on Introduction to Robotics freshman-level course.

In the following, I give the syllabus of each course I have taught at UCCS and elsewhere, and include the typeset course notes.
