Adam Sarty’s teaching style varies dramatically to adapt to different audiences, from first-year to graduate students, from new colleagues to established scholars, from school children to the community at large.
A zealous missionary for his discipline and his profession, “Adam is the sort of faculty member Deans dream of.”

He is a model of teaching excellence and educational leadership, roles that are not separated in Adam’s case, but integrated, reinforcing, and sustaining. "Few faculty, in any institution, have had such a tremendous impact in so short a period of time." Seven major awards in ten years are testament to his teaching, leadership and community outreach. His students express it this way: “Humourous! Enthusiastic! Knowledgeable! Amazing! Best teacher ever!” As one sign of the times, they even created a Facebook page titled, “The Dr. Adam Sarty Experience”.

Over time, and in many ways, Adam Sarty has shown that he is an exceptional communicator, a gifted teacher and an excellent role model.
