My teaching emphasizes student enjoyment and self-expression in service of academic aims. I create activities designed to promote philosophical skills, internalization of course content, and peer-to-peer conversation. Selected examples are included below.
Embedded Files
Philosophy Bingo! An activity for the first day of class. Students walk around filling in all twenty-five tiles with their classmates’ names just in case they satisfy the personal statement, agree with the philosophical claim, or can explain the logic concept. Sample.
Philosophy Jeopardy! An activity for memorizing and internalizing course content. Sample
Phil Theater An activity designed to promote speaking skills. Sample
Phil Confidence Ranking An activity designed to probe students' confidence in various claims. Students learn to generate counterexamples to apparently certain claims like "I have two hands." Sample
Phil Logic: We Should Not Fear Death. A worksheet activity and Epicurean argument reconstruction. Sample
Feel free to ask for or suggest other activities or examples of student work.
