Courses Taught

First Year Courses

I began my academic career in 2000 by developing and teaching a course in Business Case Analysis, Reports, and Presentations. Since then I've also taught first year introductory business courses, first year Organizational Behaviour, and First Year seminar courses including "Differences between Canada and the USA" and "The Culture of Ice Hockey".

Second Year Courses

In addition to teaching first year courses I have also taught second year Principles of Management in the USA, and am a regular instructor of Strategic Human Resource Management,   a required introduction to Human Resource Management at McMaster University

Third Year Courses

In the last few years, one of my primary responsbilities has been teaching a required third year course for Commerce students at McMaster University "Management Skills Development". In 2015, my colleague Carolyn Capretta and I completely overhauled this course reducing the overlap with the prerequisite Organizational Behavour and Human Resource Management courses and providing students with a unique experience that includes extensive self-assessment and peer coaching.

Fourth Year Courses

I'm hard pressed to decide which I like teaching more - first year or fourth year courses. However, it is nice having small groups of students who have chosen the elective courses that I'm teaching. I started with International Human Resource Management at Brock University and more recently have taught Recruitment and Selection, Strategic HR Planning, and Occupational Health and Safety electives at McMaster University. In 2016 I created an online version of Recruitment and Selection that has proven to be extremely popular with students.

MBA Level Courses

While I love teaching undergraduates I have also had the opportunity to teach Business Case Analysis to International MBA students at Brock University and Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management courses at the MBA Level at McMaster University.
