Teaching Experience
1994-1999
Graduate Teaching Assistant
General Statistics, ST 201 (~100 students
per section) Standard statistics courses covering a wide range of topics. Developed and implemented lectures and lesson plans; created and evaluated exams and assignments.
Ordinary Differential Equations, M 340This course was a first effort at reforming the differential equations curriculum at CSU by emphasizing the numerical and qualitative analysis of solutions. Participated in designing and developing the course including the syllabus and objectives; collaborated on the selection of the required texts; wrote and presented lectures; wrote and administered exams and quizzes; developed and graded written and oral class projects.
Calculus for the Physical Sciences I, II and III A calculus reform effort focusing on the use of the Maple software package to encourage experimentation and application of fundamental concepts. Developed and implemented lectures and lesson plans; created and evaluated exams and assignments.
1993,1994
Summer Adjunct Faculty Ordinary Differential Equations, M 290. A standard differential equations course, covering classical techniques. Developed syllabus, designed and implemented lectures and lesson plans; created and evaluated exams and assignments.
1993-1994
Adjunct Faculty College Algebra, College Trigonometry. Reform efforts focusing on the use of graphing calculators as an exploratory tool and problem solving aid. Developed, designed, and implemented lectures and lesson plans. Created and evaluated exams and assignments.
1991-1993
Graduate Teaching Assistant
Plane Analytic Geometry and
Calculus I, II Developed and implemented lectures and lesson plans. Created and evaluated exams and assignments. The Introduction to Calculus course covered a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from the basics of differentiation to Lagrange multipliers.
2006 Adjunct
Faculty This was an accelerated online statistics course primarily aimed at business major enrolled in DeVry’s online business program. During the eight weeks, everything from the basics up through hypothesis testing are covered.
2006 Hired as Assistant Professor of Mathematics
Additional Experience
2000-2002 International Business Machines EPIC Program Mentor
Supported career development and provided guidance for undergraduate students involved in the IBM Employment Pathways for Interns and Coops (EPIC) program by acting as mentor for three summer interns. This included devising an accessible project, scheduling and teaching of the relevant concepts. The highlight of this experience involved rapidly learning American Sign Language and Deaf culture basics and developing a structured work program in order to guide a hearing-impaired undergraduate summer intern towards her goal of becoming an image scientist.
1999-2004 IBM Development Educator
1999-2006 Staff Software Engineer Demonstrated successes in the development of image processing software, industrial printer software, and a variety of custom printing solution. Accomplished in software development and performing research. Skills include: AIX, UNIX, Linux, Windows, C/C++, Java, Korn Shell, Bash Shell. |
