He does not approach his classes as if they existed in a vacuum. He works to make students understand why the material covered is important, how they can use it, and how it relates to their other classes. His goal is that students leave his classes having gained practical tools supported by a strong theoretical foundation. He believes that if students cannot see the value or practicality of a lesson they will most likely not retain the material.
