About Dave McCallister

I enjoy helping students "get" physics. The satisfaction when students finally understand a difficult concept is a great reward for perseverance.

I received a Master of Arts in Teaching from Thomas More College in May 2010, and a Bachelor of Arts in Physics from Northern Kentucky University in August 2007.

My future goals include continuing my graduate education, emphasizing physics education research.
