Many of us are influenced, unfortunately, by advertising, the media, the Internet, and we don’t have our own goals—we take them from the environment. I really want you to know what your goals are. I’m going to help you understand yourself.Great things for you at UDMIn a large number of classes at UDM, we ask students to spend time in a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen or tutoring young kids in the inner city. The purpose of this service learning is to open horizons beyond your life. I think it’ll have a pretty dramatic effect on you—and become a part of your fabric.Great things in store after UDMI’ve had people write back 20 years later and say “I still have that paper I wrote for you and it was a terrific influence on me.

If you’re intimidated by accounting, it’s probably because you’re intimidated by having to deal with numbers. It’s not the concepts of accounting that are difficult. So I come into class and hand out a problem for you to tackle before I lecture. Most of time, you’ll bring up in your own words many of the principles underlying accounting. So I can bring you around from thinking you can’t get it to knowing that you can.When you finish my classYou’ll take away a better understanding of what numbers mean—for one thing, that they’re not golden.Come to UDM if you wantPlenty of hands-on work. We do lots of homework, you’ll have lots of chances to practice it, and you’ll really learn it.My favorite part about teaching you isThe challenges you bring to class. You keep me up to date.
