Teaching Experience at Ohio State University

The instuctor role involved writing a syllabus, daily lesson plans, holding office hours, answering student emails, assigning homework (using MyLab, connect math, or written assignments), grading homework, and making/grading exams and quizzes. Class sizes were from 25-140 students. I was the instructor of record for following courses:
  • Math 1116: Excursions in Math Online (Summer 2024)
  • Math 1116: Excursions in Math (Spring 2024) - Three sections
  • Math 1172: Engineering Mathematics A (Spring 2023) - Two sections
  • Math 1116: Excursions in Math (Fall 2022) - Two sections
  • Math 1149: Trigonometry  (Summer 2022)
  • Math 2153: Calculus III  (Spring 2022) -Three sections

Teaching Experience at Indiana University

 At Indiana University, I had the opportunity to teach, assist, and grade a variety of classes. Please click on course descriptions for further information.

Teaching

The instuctor role involved making daily lesson plans, holding office hours, answering student emails, assigning homework (often using Webwork), grading homework, and sometimes making exams. Class sizes ranged from 10 to 70 students. I was the instructor of record for the following courses:
  • M118: Finite Mathematics (Summer 2018)
  • D116: Introduction to Finite Mathematics I (Spring 2018)
  • D117: Introduction to Finite Mathematics II (Fall 2017)
  • J112: Introduction to College Mathematics II (Summer 2017)
  • D116: Introduction to Finite Mathematics I (Spring 2017)
  • J111: Introduction to College Mathematics I (Summer 2016)
  • D116: Introduction to Finite Mathematics I (Spring 2016)
  • M018: Basic Algebra for Finite Mathematics I (Fall 2015)
  • J110: Introductory Problem Solving (Summer 2015)
  • M014: Basic Algebra (Fall 2014)

Grading

Grading for a course involved grading weekly homeworks and in some cases exams. I was a grader for the following courses:
  • M584: Recursion Theory (Fall 2019)
  • M301: Linear Algebra and Applications (Fall 2019)

​Directed Reading Program

For one semester I took part in mentoring a directed reading program project on cryptography. This involved working with an undergraduate mathematics student by meeting weekly and working through an introduction to cryptography book. This often led to other conversations about algebra and number theory. At the end of the semester, this student gave a presentation.  A list of all the directed reading program projects done at the IU math department can be found here.

Assisting

Assisting involved working at a weekly help session, holding office hours, answering student emails, and proctoring exams. I assisted the following courses:
  • M118: Finite Mathematics (Fall 2018)
  • M118: Finite Mathematics (Fall 2016)
  • D117: Introduction to Finite Mathematics II (Fall 2017)

Recitation

The recitation leader role involved holding weekly help sessions for a class. This time was often spent reviewing homework or exam problems and answering questions. I was the recitation leader for the following courses:
  • M212: Calculus II (Spring 2020)
  • M212: Calculus II (Fall 2018)

Help Sessions

Running the weekly help sessions involved just talking with students about their homework problems or questions they had on class material.  I worked a joint help session for the following 3 courses:
  • M301: Linear Algebra and Applications (Spring 2020)
  • M303: Linear Algebra for Undergraduates (Spring 2020)
  • M311: Calculus III (Spring 2020)

Online Co-teaching

During the current pandemic, Indiana shifted its teaching online for the summer of 2020. I co-taught the following classes entirely online via zoom:
  • M106: The Mathematics of Decision and Beauty (Summer 2020)
