| Introduction | I am currently Professor Emeritus, Biostatistics and Measurement, and former Assistant Dean for Teaching at The Johns Hopkins University. After 30 years of teaching and research, I left Hopkins on June 30, 2006, to pursue speaking and writing fulltime. I've been a teacher, writer, and researcher for 42 years, from elementary school teacher to university professor and assistant dean to professional speaker. I am still writing articles (150+) and books (13), which are posted on my Website (www.ronberk.com), and speaking to faculty about humor and multimedia in teaching, assessment, faculty evaluation, and stress management, and to students about time management, stress reduction, finding your passion in a career, and test-taking skills in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Persian Gulf. |
