An introspective view of the author revealed that his philosophy, style, and methods of teaching were anchored in the broad fundamentals of considering, organizing, and implementing an educational plan. Key elements of these fundamentals included the art of teaching, time management and the commitment of time to students, experience and repetition, teaching methodology, communication and listening, relevancy of information, the laboratory teaching environment, and the responsibilities of students. A coherent approach to teaching was developed by blending these individual elements with a commitment to learning by all students.
