I. INSTRUCTOR INFORMATION

NAME: Stephen Doss
E-MAIL ADDRESS: sdoss@jeffco.edu

PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY:
DEGREES: BA ENGLISH, UMR, 1975; MA ENGLISH, SEMO UNIV., 1983; MA EDUCATION, MARYVILLE UNIV., 2002

TEACHING PHILOSPHY:
I believe in “constructivism.” This is an approach to teaching and learning that emphasizes the participation and involvement of the student in the education process. Constructivism stresses that teachers are “mentors,” not dictators, and that students are “mentees,” not slaves. Therefore, my expectations include your active participation in the activities and lessons which will guide you, and us, through the course.

II. CATALOG DESCRIPTION
