Mr. Sennet received his Master's Degree from Western Washington University and completed additional graduate work at Northern Illinois University and Rockford College. He has taught a variety of specializations including Western Civilization, United States History and History of the West. Fall 2003 was his first semester teaching at West Los Angeles College. He has taught History online for 4 years with a wide variety of teaching assignments in California, Washington and Arizona.

"Teaching history online provides access to great resources which have never been available in the traditional classroom. Whether it is examining ancient cave painting, up-close inspection of Renaissance art, taking virtual tours of sites from the Cairo Museum to California Spanish Missions; it is all available on the Internet." In the last several years much of his online teaching has focused on tapping these resources and including them in his instruction. "Students themselves provide great sources of information not only in their online discussion comments, but also in discovering web sites that are, in many cases, great source of information and class enrichment for us all." Mr. Sennet is a 20-year veteran teacher at the community college and universities levels, "... but each semester is, for me, a new and exacting experience!!"
