“I wish to be remembered less for what I know or said
than for what others figured out in my presence.”

 That statement has been part of my course syllabus for over the four decades that I have been  teaching  both in the United States as well as in the Federal Republic of Germany.  I have taught  a large variety of students, from kindergarteners to graduate students,  traditional college age students to adult learners. I tell all of  my students that I am not a very good mind reader, but a reasonable good problem solver.  I expect students to communicate what is working well for them and to have fun in my classes.  Below is a list of courses that I have taught at UT for the last thirty years.  I hope to see you in one of them next semester.
