Dr. Brock MacLeod

You are reading this, so you are likely considering one of Dr. MacLeod's courses. He wants you to take it, so here are a few details to sway you. Dr. MacLeod received his PhD from UVic in 2010. His areas of specialization are Mediaeval and Renaissance Literature with emphases on bibliography, satire, historiography, and education. He is currently consumed by thoughts of reading situation, primarily in historic children's literature (which he collects) and the beat, pseudo, and metaphysical filled novels long favoured by young travelers (which, at over 50, he still is).

Dr. MacLeod most often teaches first year composition, what we now think of as reading and writing courses, but he has also taught the odd literature course, most notably Children's literature. His teaching philosophy is simple; laughter enables memory with inclination. If you teach from the heart, you will learn from the heart; if you teach from the head, you will learn from the head; but the head forgets sooner than the heart.
