Teaching
Teaching is an opportunity to share the knowledge and expertise I have gained as an educator and a mathematician. Read more about my teaching philosophy and pedagogy on this page, and see a sample video of my teaching at the bottom of this page.
I am honored to be awarded the
-
2021 Graduate Student Association Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award
-
2021 NCSU Department of Mathematics Maltbie Award for Excellence in Teaching
Teaching Statement: I believe greatly in the power of the language of mathematics, and I assert that all students can have a positive learning experience in a mathematics classroom. Read about how I strive to create this experience in my classes here.
Class Axioms: Students are individuals who come from diverse backgrounds and have different skill sets. At the beginning of each semester, my classes and I adopt an axiomatic system centered around learning for all students, and we agree on classroom expectations that help cultivate a classroom culture consistent with those axioms. Read them here.
