The Evidence of Teaching and Learning section has two parts:
The Professional Development section
The Artifacts section
As I stated in the Teaching Portfolio home page, this portfolio contains my experiences as an instructor while participating in CoAT. In addition, I mention that these experiences provide an in-depth study via MA 231: Calculus B for Life and Management Sciences.
More on MA 231:
In this course, students learn various differential equations such as population growth, flow processes, finance and investment models, systems. We cover the topic of functions of several variables in terms of partial derivatives, optimization, least squares, and multiple integrals. In addition, the students learn about the Lagrange multiplier method for constraint optimization. The final topic in this course is the approximations by Taylor polynomials and Newton's method, Infinite and Taylor series.
This class is a required, terminal mathematics course for many sciences such as various biologies, business, and economics.
My responsibilities as instructor included creating the course lectures, syllabus, and assignments; providing effective lectures to students; holding office hours; addressing students' questions during class or during office hours; taking attendance; grading all exams and assignments; evaluating the level of students' success and providing a final grade.
The Mathematics department makes available a Mathematics professor as a teaching mentor. The minimum responsibility of my mentor is to approve the class attendance and final grades. The mentor may also observe, but I have Dr. Burns-Williams as my CoAT faculty advisor for the observations.
In the chart below, I give a numerical analysis of each course. That is, the number of students, what level the students are, the year and the time these courses are taught, and finally, mode discipline (the major of most of the students in the class). This course has been a small lecture each time I teach.
For fulfillment of CoAT Program.
