Student exhibitions: students defend their learning in a "thesis" style forum.

I was a panelist for an Exhibition on a biography told through Manga. I sat in on many Exhibitions this semester.

Other Exhibition panelists

One student created a Ruben's tube and played Death Metal music through it and compared the sound waves to that of Hip Hop.

The science of meditation. Our TM (transcendental meditation) program brought in a brain-wave scientist to show us how our brain reacts and works more harmoniously through meditation.

My desk and my "A" tree. Students who get A's on tests get leaves on my tree. This was my tree in the early Fall. It is now so full of leaves that students have run out of room to add new ones!

I am the yearbook director / instructor, and this is a photo of one of our late nights finalizing the layout. This is around 9pm. We were a bit delirious! (late April 2012)
