My Advice to Walden Students
Don't be afraid to ask for help! Your instructors want to help you succeed, so always feel free to reach out and ask for support or clarification.
Why I enjoy teaching at Walden:
Walden has a real commitment to helping students. I enjoy being part of an institution that values knowledge and supports its students through multiple parts of the learning process.
What students can expect from me as a teacher:
Students can expect quick replies and focused commentary from me. I want to make sure that students have a clear sense of what my expectations are, and so I give them feedback in a timely manner, but I also make sure that I use clear examples so that they feel confident in what my expectations are.
