COURSES TAUGHT

Instructor, UBC Mathematics Department, 2022-present
•    Math 180 (Differential Calculus (for students with no prior calculus), 1 term): Course coordinator for all sections of the course (700 students) and responsible for designing assessments and other classroom materials. Taught two Large Class sections of 350 students each and managed a team of graduate students who collectively taught 14 Small Classes (group active learning).
•    Math 100 (Differential Calculus, 1 term): Sole instructor for the course of 200 students, the majority of whom had failed calculus the previous term. Taught one Large Class (lecture) and four Small Class (group active learning) sections. 
•    Math 215/255 (Differential Equations, 1 term): Taught two sections of Math 215/255, each with 140 students and was the course coordinator for the entire course of 400 students. Designed and implemented a Mastery Based Grading scheme for all sections. 
•    Math 101 (Integral Calculus, 1 term): Taught one Large class section (lecture) with 500 students and four Small class sections (group active learning), each with 60 students. Designed focus groups to understand and improve the student experience of group work. Recognized as a UBC Open Education Resources Champion for using an OER textbook
•    Math 100 (Differential Calculus, 1 term): Taught one Large class section (lecture) with 350 students and four Small class sections (group active learning), each with 60 students. Designed reflection questions meant to increase student metacognition for all assignments, each given to all 4000 students taking Math 100. 

Instructor, U of A Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, 2020-2022

  • Math 101 (online): Prepared and delivered active learning focused (flipped) lectures for an online section of Calculus II for Engineers.

  • Math 134 (online): Instructed three active learning sections of Calculus I for Life Sciences with 60 students each and designed a group competition to promote engagement and friendly competition between sections.

 

Instructor, Bamfield Marine Sciences Center, 2019

  • Ecological Models and Data: Co-instructed a graduate and undergraduate course on modelling and data analysis with for ecologists with Dr. Andrew Bateman. Students submitted final modeling projects using their own data which were published in the BMSC library.

Teaching Fellow, Peter Lougheed Leadership College, 2019-2020

  • Foundations of Leadership, INTD301: Designed and ran experiential learning activities for students learning the foundational principles of leadership.

  • Leadership for Social Innovation, INTD306: Co-instructed skills workshops and activities on social innovation.

Teaching Assistant, U of A Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, 2015-2019

  • Math 201 (5 terms): Designed and taught a weekly lab on differential equations, where students would work in groups to solve problems.

  • Math 114 (1 term): Developed and taught weekly workshops for students repeating Math 114 (Calculus). Led group discussions on how to study, how to approach exams, how to approach difficult math problems, and other tips for success in a university math course.

  • Math 100 (2 terms): Facilitated weekly calculus labs for engineers, where students had to work through problem sets in groups.

  • Decima Robinson Learning Center (7 terms): Graduate tutor in the Learning Center, where undergraduate students receive free drop-in tutoring from graduate students.

Teaching Assistant, UBC Mathematics Department, 2013-2014

  • Math 110: Facilitated weekly calculus workshops where students would work in groups to solve scaffolded problems.
