• Courses
  My primary teaching interest is financial accounting. During the spring, 2009 I will be teaching Accountancy 321, Intermediate Financial Accounting and Accountancy 422, Financial Accounting Research.   
  
• Research
  My primary research interests lie in the realm of accounting education. I write about cooperative learning classroom assessment and Problem-Based Learning. I also conduct workshops in these two areas.  Barbara Millis and I have recently had our book, Cooperative Learning for Higher Education Faculty, published by ORYX Press
  
• Stuff about me:
  
  • I am a Christian. I am active in the LifePoint Vineyard where I am involved with small groups.  The writings of John Eldredge and the Ransomed Heart Ministry have had a major impact on my life. 
    
    
  • I have been married for forty years to Lin, my best friend, lover and soul mate. We have raised two children, Sigrid and Philip, of whom we are extremely proud.  On August 5, 2002 our first grandchild, Mahlon Allen Page, was born.  Here is a picture of Mahlon with his family.  Our second grandson, Gavin Philip Cottell was born on July 19, 2003.  Here is a picture of Gavin with his family.  Our first granddaughter, Elizabeth Diane Page was born on April 21, 2005.  Our third grandson, Grant Courter Cottell, was born May 3, 2006.
    
    
  • I am an avid gardener. Check out the Garden Web page. You can search for plants to grow in all kinds of gardening conditions.
    
    
  • I love dogs.  I currently own the best dog I have ever owned, an Irish Water Spaniel.  His name is Ballyhoo's Junah Bagger Vance (Bagger).  We train at the Hamilton Dog Training Club.
    
    
  • I like to read. Right now I am reacquainting myself with the Inklings. There are interesting home pages on C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien and Charles Williams.  The latest release from Tolkien's son titled The Children of Hurin, is a good read.  I loved the first Chronicles of Narnia movie but was disappointed by the second one.
    
    
  • I follow the stock market. You can get quotes and the latest financial news on the Yahoo! Finance Web Page.   You can also set up your own portfolio there.

   

  • My newest interest is sailing.  I sail a S-2, 7.3 pocket cruiser, the Dawn Treader, on Brookville Lake.
