What course(s) do you teach at Baylor and how long have you been teaching here?

I joined the Baylor University faculty in 1969 as director of the social work program. Thanks to a federal grant, Baylor had one of the early undergraduate social work programs in the nation. Except for statistics, I taught all the undergraduate courses (now called foundation or first year). I also taught the Marriage and Family course, a course cross listed with sociology. I taught that course from 1969 to 2008. After my wife received her Ph.D. in family studies in 1991 she joined me in team teaching the course until 2007 when she retired. During those years we taught about 200 students per semester. As far as we could determine, we were the only married couple teaching the course in an American university. In sociology, I also developed and taught a graduate course, Evaluation Research.

After I retired in 2008, I taught a section every semester of the Field Seminar course and pioneered in teaching a section that included BSW seniors and first year graduate students. I turned in my last set of grades spring semester, 2019.
