Washington State University - MA in English Literature (1965)

I have spent my whole career here at Eastern Washington University. I have had primary responsibility for the Shakespeare class since about 1971, and have enjoyed every quarter and the vast majority of days and minutes; I hope many of my students have similar feelings. I have also taught and still teach the earlier English literature surveys - everything up to the Victorian period. I try to involve students in discussion, and I try to test fairly. I like students who show up on time and stay off the phone.
