Design of the Website

In order to make the website more user friendly, let me highlight a few of its features. Each page will include the same content at the top, bottom, and on the left-hand side. At the top of the page, I provide a navigation bar to each of the major sections of this website. At the bottom of each page, you will find links to legal and technical information. Please note the copyright information link. Intellectual piracy is receiving increasing attention in intellectual circles, the media, and legal settings. In making this information available,, I ask that you respect the intellectual property on this site as well as on those sources that you access through this site. On the left are links to "news" and the most recent content that I have added to the website.

In some sections, I have also included a secondary navigation bar on the right-hand side of the page (e.g. the assessment web guide). These right-hand navigation bars will change for each of the major sections of the site, but will remain constant through the various sub-pages of each section. These side bars should serve as a map of sorts, helping you to find your way (and keep your place) as you navigate through sections of the site.

Remaining Relevant

I regularly review and update the content of this site in order to remain relevant and to make this site increasingly useful over time. Where it is helpful, I encourage you to share this website with others who may find it useful and/or set up a link to this page. If you find information that is less helpful or outdated, please send me an email with your comments. Students who have had me as an instructor and staff members who have worked for me will be quick to share that I am a strong advocate of constructive feedback. In that spirit, I welcome your feedback as I continue in my journey of lifelong learning and service.
