I hate to label myself as “an adult educator”, “an instructor in educational leadership”, “HRD guy (Human resource development)”, “a K-20 education person” or “an avid education researcher” because I firmly believe in what Carl Rogers said, “you can not teach another individual directly.” I enjoy this “helping profession” as popularized by Malcolm Knowles. I enjoy being called a co-learner in the learning process in this learning society. I have been fortunate that different universities have asked me to teach the following courses and through teaching these courses, I have become a better helper in this helping profession.

This is not a complete list of college courses I have taught thus far. Regarding my teaching effectiveness, I was considered one of the popular instructors in China, Kansas and Arkansas. That was why I was invited to teach on TV and state radio in 1990 and 1991 in China. Unfortunately, I don’t keep those teaching evaluations by my former students in China or in those two states in the United States. However, I do keep teaching evaluations by students in CA and in FL. I love my students no matter where they are from. They are my inspirations. My students’ concerns/issues in taking courses with me become my research topics in my classes. Whenever I can, I involve my students in researching, writing and publishing. Someday in the future, I will be able to create a research foundation via which I will be able to support some master level and doctoral students financially so that the best minds will be attracted to the current graduate program.
