David Navratil is a strong advocate for life-long learning, having returned to university as an adult learner from 1999-2012.

He has also completed the coursework for a PhD in Communication Studies from the University of Calgary.

Using a learner-centered perspective, David builds his courses with the student in mind. He likes to focus on 3 key principles: critical thinking, essay construction, and research tools. The primary goal is to ensure that students learn the practical skills required to write and research university essays and assignments.
