Teaching

In Fall 2021, I will teach Calculus III (MATH 2440) and Business Precalculus (MATH 1324) -- both courses will be taught online.

In Spring 2021, I taught our Proofs class (MATH 3300). We used the freely available, good resource Book of Proof by Richard Hammack. I taught the course online, which meant that I could not schedule regular class meetings. This was and is a major downside to teaching online. For more on this, see my reflections on our Proofs Class.

In Spring 2020, I was awarded an Engaged Learning Fellowship. Through this two year support, I will continue making improvements to the active learning environment in the classroom. But just as important as the details of how to make a classroom engaging, if not more, educators need to provide a space that is safe and welcoming to all students. I will be adopting Prof. Federico Ardila-Mantilla's Axioms:

• Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.

• Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.

• Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.

• Axiom 4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

• Fall 2019: MATH 1324 (Business Pre-Calculus), MATH 2440 (Calculus III)

• Spring 2019: MATH 1324 (Business Pre-Calculus), MATH 6336 (Graduate Algebra II)

• Fall 2018: MATH 1324 (Business Pre-Calculus), MATH 6335 (Graduate Algebra I), MATH 6398 (Research and Thesis)
