Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Oakland University:

Undergraduate Public Administration teaching: 

The following courses are taught on a biennial cycle. 

PS 3320: Public Budgeting: Winter 2024

Notes: PA 5020 is taught annually each fall semester. PA 5200 is taught each fall and winter semester, alternating between hybrid and asynchronous formats. I recently traded teaching responsibility for PA 6300 in favor of PA 5020, which consolidates all government finance teaching to me.

These courses were taught online using the D2L learning management system. Lectures were asynchronous and were recorded in a studio on campus, while office hours and discussion sessions were conducted using Blackboard's Collaborate application. 

ECON 580 is a course taken by incoming Master of Business Administration students who had not previously studied economics. It provides an overview of microeconomics and macroeconomics taught at the same level as ECON 201 and ECON 202. 

I taught two sections each of ECON 201 and 202 and one section of ECON 580 each academic year.
