Pedagogy

I believe teaching students is about more than communicating course material. I work to ensure my students learn to evaluate the strength of logical arguments and the validity of data, write clearly and persuasively, and feel comfortable with the basics of data analysis and computer programming. I do so by utilizing active learning techniques, creating lesson plans tailored to specific sets of students, and integrating university resources, like writing centers, into my teaching.
