fecuKyprofile jm Teaching atJMU has been delightfiil; it ' s as if I never left: college. • Dr. James Butler As students entered the classroom of Dr. James Buder for the first time, some thought they had walked into the wrong room. The dimly lit auditorium featured a movie screen displaying the words, Good morning. Music began to fill the room as students realized they were in for a treat. I ' ve been at JMU for 800 years, said Buder, with a broad smile, who estimated he had taught psychology ' to 30,700 students. His kindly face and gentle demeanor sometimes hid his dry sense ot humor that he expressed often in class. Perhaps it was how he intertwined personal experiences in class that made it enjoyable to sit through and even worth crossing South Main Street to Anthony- Seeger Hall. Butler ' s teaching style developed over the years as technological tools became more advanced. Reflecting on things he did fcfr class in the past, he described them as pitifiil. Initially he spent about 60 hours putting together a single class presentation, but then was able to make necessary adjustments easily. I make the class the way I would personally like it presented to me, said Butler, who realized not all students liked his teaching style. Although Butler admitted to sometimes repeating the same stories in the three GPSY classes he taught, he enjoyed telling his favorite stories over and over again. When you find something that is received well, you tend to repeat it, said Butler. Through the years you collect things in your mind. Buder also liked the large class size, which he found more exciting, because everyone was there for the context of the class. During class, Butler sat on stage at a lectern, clicking his sometimes-possessed mouse through the course material, which included interesting facts, pictures from his trip to Freud ' s home in Vienna, Austria, and even a picture from his wedding day. He drew on his experiences from his previous job as a clinical psychologist, which he said was kind of dull. Although he had a number of interesting experiences, Butler knew he did not want to be a psychologist forever. In his first job at medical school, Buder did not enjoy the business-like environ- ment where he found it more practical than academic. He knew when he began teaching that it was what he wanted to do tor the rest of his life. He felt privileged to have the opportunity to be with intelligent young people, and he said that JMU gave him a more positive experience than he would have had at any other university. Teaching at JMU has been delightful; it ' s like I never left college, said Butler. JMU students have always been well mannered and delightful; they are a good collection of young people. He hoped that everybody will end up in a niche where they can be perfectly satisfied with life. As a smdent at the University of Georgia, he decided to pursue psychology because of a very charismatic and interesting psychology professor he had. Psychology was not a consuming interest of his, but if it was good enough for his professor, he felt it was good enough for him. He also gave credit to his wife of 37 years for inspiring him and giving him courage. How they met is an incredible story, but if you wanted to know the ending, you had to take his class. ■ Preparing for his next class, professor of psychology Dr. James Butler sits at his lec- tern in the Anthony-Seeger Hall auditorium. Butler estimated that he taught over 30,700 students at the university during his 800-year tenure. ■ Photo by Laura Creecy %H ' A classes ■ Freshmen 13 7
