Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts

Current

For descriptions of courses I am currently teaching, see the MCLA undergraduate catalog.

In Autumn 2017, I am teaching the following courses:

• Introduction to Statistics (MATH 232), Sections 01 and 03
• Calculus III (MATH 330)
• Operations Research (MATH 444)
• Ordinary Differential Equations (MATH 380) (Course by Arrangement)

Future

In Spring 2018, I will teach the following courses (tentative):

• Introduction to Statistics (MATH 232), two sections
• Calculus IV (MATH 430)
• Numerical Analysis (MATH 390)

Past

At the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, I have taught the following courses:

• Introduction to Statistics (MATH 232): Spring 2017 | Autumn 2016
• Linear Algebra (MATH 261): Spring 2017
• Calculus III (MATH 330): Autumn 2016
• Mathematical Modelling (MATH 365): Spring 2017
• Ordinary Differential Equations (MATH 380): Autumn 2016

At Worcester Polytechnic Institute, I have taught the following courses:

• Calculus I (MA 1021): Summer 2014
• Calculus II (MATH 1022): Summer 2016

In 2016, I delivered a single snap lecture on voting methods to students taking a "Math for the Liberal Arts" class.

Tools, Tips, and Philosophy

Some links related to teaching in general:

• Bloom's Taxonomy
• VALUE Rubrics
• What can I do today to create a more inclusive community in CS? (widely applicable, not just for CS)

Some links related to teaching math in particular:

• AMS Open Math Notes
• MAA WeBWorK
• SIAM's Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Mathematical Modelling Education
• Immersive Linear Algebra

Some tools I've created to make teaching easier for myself:

• Python script that reads Excel gradebook downloaded from Canvas and e-mails all students midterm (or post-exam) grade reports
• LaTeX templates for syllabus, exams, quizzes, and homework assignments
• My contributions to Canvas Commons
