Since being hired as an assistant professor I have assisted in writing new courses, JPII 5302 Philosophy of Wojtyla, updating existing courses, JPII 5300, and JPII 5305, and developing curriculum changes as in the case of the alternate Final Project JPII 5345 which I wrote and deliver now each semester.  

I continue to develop a wide array of instruction materials either in courses I personally wrote or in ones that I teach.  I develop supplemental pdf's to explain difficult material or outline background information. I produce my own video recorded lectures with original material.  A student favorite are the video lecture notes which allow the student to reference the video lecture material from a written format and document it.  In addition I make my journal articles and book available through links where those prove to be good explanatory aids to the course material.
During his time at Immaculata as the Assistant Dean of our Program Colonel, Dr. Wrightson mentioned to me that I was a highly rated professor in classroom student evaluations.  We remain in contact and he wrote a recent letter of recommendation for promotion to associate professor.
