Focus on RVCC Faculty

Lynne E. Kowski
Associate Professor, Mathematics

“I look for ways to improve my class while creating an enjoyable learning experience. I teach using different pedagogies emphasizing various learning styles for the diverse student population, giving various opportunities for cooperative learning. Through open dialogue with my students, I am receptive to alternative solutions to problems, often allowing the student to become the teacher.”
