One of the great revelations in my collective experience with teaching & learning is that research, much like other aspects of life, participates in the three transcendentals–three properties of being: truth, beauty and goodness–the interplay and connection with truth, beauty in discovery, and goodness in impacting real change. I celebrate the privilege of being an instructor who chooses to interplay with objective truth—it is attainable, reachable, understandable—the best part is that it is teachable. If a concept can be understood and explained, then by definition, it can also be taught.
