About the store
I recently graduated with my PhD (English) and in going through some of my materials thought why not put some of my handouts, exams, quizzes, midterms, etc. up here. I found out about this site years ago but never used it. During my time as a grad student (MA and PhD), I taught at the college level for several years. I transferred between schools, so my PhD was stretched out by a few years from the process. I have experience teaching Literature (World, American and British), English Comp, and the random variation, such as Business Writing, Honors Comp, Science Writing etc.

Teaching style
Since most of my material was written for non-English majors, I tried to make it as accessible as I could. If I had one objective, it was to make getting through the class as painless as possible for all involved (including me!).
