Bio
Daniel Pitts
I was very fortunate to have studied under Tina Lancaster’s instruction in online based courses for Management Information Systems and Corporate Communications at Texas A&M University – Commerce. She has an exceptional ability at engaging students in an online environment. This ability helps students to gain a better understanding of the material being presented as this type of learning environment presents many challenges to the success of the student. Mrs. Lancaster’s ability combined with her extensive knowledge and passion for teaching enables students to apply the material studied to practical situations which reinforces the information learned.
