Teaching Philosophy

Instead of providing the answers to students, Roberts always states “Let’s step back and see what is really going on here.”  She strives to get her students to understand the theory behind what is being asked.  With that understanding, they can then answer the question themselves.  Always bringing a sense of humor to her class, Roberts is known to actually make taxation fun!
