Chris currently teaches Negotiation to executive-MBA students in the Fuqua School of Business. Before that, Chris taught Stereotyping & Prejudice to undergraduate students in Northwestern’s School of Professional Studies. Generally, Chris's teaching emphasizes evidence-based pedagogical techniques. Flipped classroom techniques, for example, provide a reliable means of enhancing student comprehension of course material. Cooperative learning techniques, which are an integral aspect of how Chris teaches Negotiation, have been consistently linked with more positive intergroup attitudes among students from differing backgrounds. And finally, instructional scaffolding has been associated with deepening students’ understanding of complex topics over time.

Student Comments"Chris did a fantastic job in this class; he played a pivotal role in explaining the essence of negotiation to the class. The exercises were beneficial, as they helped to get practical experience in this class. Chris was very humble and patient. He gave students assistance when they needed it the most. I referred to him several times, and each time he listened carefully to understand the core issues and recommended the best strategies. I enjoyed him as my professor. "
"The professor was clearly a subject matter expert. He presented the ideas well and was enthusiastic and engaging. I also liked how he handled the lectures. His slides were very well prepared, easy to understand, and related to the discussion at hand. He also used examples very well to illustrate ideas. I really enjoyed this class and would recommend it to others." "I appreciated the level of detail provided in slides and interesting content provided. I also enjoyed the varying types of negotiations. Chris was very responsive and detailed, which I appreciated. I also applaud him for his flexibility in this unique term/environment." |
