Instruction

Summary

During the first three years of my graduate education, I was responsible for all aspects of mathematics courses, teaching as many as 100 students a term. Later, at the University of Washington, I received high marks from the students and faculty as a teaching assistant for calculus in the mathematics department and assisted with most of the graduate and undergraduate level courses taught in the applied mathematics department. In addition, I assisted with undergraduate physics labs and ocassionally gave guest lectures at high schools when I was an undergraduate at the University of Colorado.

Philosophy

I believe that the key to effective teaching is to get students to actively participate in their education inside and outside of the classroom. The role of the instructor is to enliven the material, to provide sufficient and appropriate practice, to lead students to ask the proper questions and guide their search for the answers, and to identify and help students overcome obstacles to understanding.
