For merchandising professional development class MRCH 2999, service-learning was emphasized. A community practice project offers students on-site, hands-on experience in the merchandising industry. The project also serves as an outreach program for businesses in merchandising. Work hours are set aside in the course outline to assist students in completing this project. Guest speaker project required students working as a group to reach out to the community and find and arrange their own guest speakers. 0 Innovations in Course Content / Presentation 2007
For MRCH 3350, designed a pre-test at the beginning of the semester to understand students' math level better and review math basics to make sure studenst are adequately prepared for the class. During the semester, 6 quizzes were incorporated in the course to help students assess themselves before the exam and help reduce their anxiethy toward the exams. Formed student study groups to give them needed support 0 Innovations in Course Content / Presentation 2007

Due to the introduction of a new capstone course MRCH 4999, which is a project-based application course, I re-designed MRCH 4350 so that it is focused more on the concepts and theories to help students build stronger foundation in Merchandising. 0 Other Teaching Activities 2009
One course release from teaching spring 2008 to complete all materials for inclusion in three cartridges started for the Furniture/Today initiative. Cartridges cover materials for MRCH 3350 0 Other Teaching Activities 2008
As a member of this outcome assessment committee, helped devise MR program assessment plan and program description 0 Program Assessment Projects 2008
A panel of industry experts was invited to come to MRCH4350 evaluating the semester group projects. This semester group project is the most important assignment/project for MRCH 4350 that covers most of the important topics for this class and was designed as close to the process happening in the industry as possible. For fall 07 semester, out of the 7 groups of students, only one group had a B (86%), all the other groups got A's for their projects, which gave an A for the class average (91.85%) 0 Student Team Evaluations 2007
