Wayne Dawson, Teacher

I have been teaching for a total of about 12 years, most of which has been in the last 9 years. In my personal experience, it seems that about 10-20% of students easily get programming, and I have often worked on getting the concepts across to those for whom it doesn't come so naturally.

At ECPI I have been teaching software development and electronics, with a smattering of networking courses thrown in.
