You're a
TERRIBLE PROFESSOR
and sometimes, so am I
Lessons in modern teaching from the professors we swore we’d never become. Real classroom stories, real pedagogy, and real strategies you can use Monday morning.
I’ve spent decades teaching in, studying, and occasionally questioning higher education—from the community college classroom to graduate work in learning theory and instructional design. This book is a love letter to students… and a friendly shove for professors who know they can do better.
I help faculty build courses that are clearer, calmer, more humane, and more effective—without lowering standards or pretending constraints don’t exist.
From the book...
“As with almost every technology we might use in education, my basic position is that we should spend some time playing with it. AI will continue to evolve, for better or worse, but it’s not going anywhere. We can’t pretend it doesn’t exist. Learn to use it, both for your benefit and for your students’ benefit."
