Dr. Epstein interacts with students that describe him as inspirational, influential, and a positive role model. “He does a phenomenal job of incorporating real life examples into lessons. The enthusiasm and passion he brings to the classroom made the course content so interesting and inspired every student to engage in conversation. His ability to really connect with every student and make sure they walked away from class with information they could use in the future was so evident.” Another student stated, “Dr. Epstein cares about giving students the highest opportunity for success. He goes as far as to make it a personal goal, outside of the classroom, to help play an active role in the professional development of his students. Not only does he encourage students to develop themselves in a professional manner, but he leads by example in continuing to pursue his own education and professional accomplishments.” “My teaching philosophy is to create a comfortable, valuable and professional learning environment in which students want to attend class and learn, resulting in positive life-long memories and practical skills and information. I want my students to believe that they are all valued members of our community and have the chance to participate in a dynamic, engaging, and useful course.” One of his colleagues shared, “He has always exemplified the epitome of what a CMU professor should be… Firecrackers would not be more effective in getting the student’s attention. In his classes, you do not see students reading the paper, using their cell phone, or otherwise being inattentive – It is like watching a well organized basketball coach in that when the huddle is called, all eyes and ears are on the coach to find out what is being said. His obvious enjoyment of the classroom environment spreads quickly to the students. Rarely are there not lively discussions and give and take.”
