Biography

Anthony Hayford received his Ph.D. in Chemistry in the area of Organic Chemistry from University of Maryland College Park in 1994. Between 1994-1996 he worked with Prof. Ron Caple of University of Minnesota-Duluth when he received the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teaching-Research Postdoctoral Fellowship. He was appointed Assistant Professor in Chemistry at East Carolina University 2000-2007. He joined Prairie View A & M University in 2023 at the current position as Lecturer I

Research Interests

Teaching Interests

Teaching Statement/Philosophy

Teaching is a learning process, one that requires time, patience and experiences that come with actual classroom interactions. My approach to teaching is very much informed by an outlook of the classroom that I have come to learn and appreciate in the course of my eighteen years of teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in chemistry. The core premise of that outlook is that 1) the classroom can only be a learning environment if it acts as a medium for generating the flow of ideas between students and the instructor and 2) that a successful classroom environment provides intellectual growth for both students and the instructor. I also believe that success in the classroom is most fundamentally contingent upon my systematic instructions and students’ responsibility for the collective success of the course. Hence, I tell my students at the outset that we cannot succeed in the course if some of us fail to take up our responsibilities for the course; that all must help. For example, I include in my syllabus (and repeatedly emphasize through the duration of my courses) that students “are expected to attend all classes and to be prepared each day by reading the assigned material prior to the class period.” I implore the students that “to have a successful semester, all must help. [And to] please arrive at class promptly … and spend the whole of the class time working with me.”
