I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.

An orderly desk
Since I'm leaving the country, I feel I ought to leave an orderly desk. As a teacher, I am in the habit of giving grades. If I were grading myself on daily office neatness, I'd give myself something between a B- and a C+. Neatness is not, shall we say, an area in which I normally excel. So it feels really weird to have a completely empty in-basket and a dusted-off desk with all the writing implements tucked neatly into pencil cups.
