Teaching

Connecting mathematical classes to their applications in an inclusive setting.

Teaching Interests and Thoughts

I strive to create and foster an inclusive classroom where all students are treated with respect and their questions and perspectives welcomed.

In my teaching career I focus on aiding students to feel more confident mathematically and see connections between mathematics and their lives. An important focus that intertwines with mathematical applications is problem solving, a skill we use in life and every discipline. Specifically, I emphasize comprehension rather than memorization, impressing on my students that understanding concepts is far more important than memorizing and repeating facts. Additionally, I work to incorporate active learning and technology into my courses. Typically, my classes are a mix using lecture, discussion, worksheets, and examples to aid in student understanding.
