David P. Adams

I have nearly three decades of teaching and research experience at the college and university level. During that time, I was actively involved in curriculum development, the use of technology in my courses, the use of teaching methods that enhanced student learning, fostering critical thinking, and actively mentoring my students. My course evaluations have been (and remain) outstanding.
