In Spring 2012 I will be the TA for Discrete-Event Simulation. Please see the course web site for details. Courses I have taught with full responsibility are: - STOR 112 -- Decision Models for Business (3 times). STOR 112 is a freshman-level introduction to optimization models, including linear and integer programming and differential calculus. It is primarily intended for Business majors.
- STOR 155 -- Introduction to Statistics (1 time). STOR 155 is a first course in descriptive statistics and single-variable inference.
I have served as the teaching assistant for - STOR 465/762 -- Discrete-Event Simulation (3 times). STOR 465/762 is a simulation course for undergraduate majors and first year graduate students in Operations Research. I graded homework and programming projects (including those using Arena simulation software) and consulted with students to help them complete their course projects.
- STOR 112 (2 times).
For my effectiveness in teaching STOR 112, I received the Excellence in Teaching Award from the Department of Statistics and Operations Research. I enjoy teaching, and 100% of students who filled out a course evaluation in one of my classes agreed or strongly agreed with the statement, "The instructor showed enthusiasm for teaching in this course." Student comments on course evaluations have included: - "I don't enjoy math but I enjoyed the course [STOR 112]"
- "I'm not the best at math but he ... didn't make you feel stupid"
- "I learned a lot from this class [STOR 112] that I found interesting and relevant"
- "[he] simplified difficult problems and made techniques easy to learn"
- "awesome teacher ... made me want to wake up for 9:00 am"
- "class time [was] enjoyable and engaging"
