Other Activities

Prepared WebCT courses for interactive internet teaching.

Developed Southern Agricultural Economics Association Investment Plan, 2000-2001.

Annual courses on Agricultural Policy, Macroeconomics and Environmental Issues for the Ferguson Agribusiness Management Institute/University of Tulsa.

I reviewed one Agricultural Economics undergraduate course each year and one College of Agricultural Course. The review requires that I attend classes regularly and interact with the students.
