Teaching

With a background and interest in mathematics education, I try to stay up to date with the current trends in teaching mathematics. I employ a number of pedagogical techniques depending on course content and student population. Generically, I would describe my teaching style as active inquiry. In my courses students are required to interact and discover mathematics through problem solving and often students lead discussions by presenting problem solutions or proofs to the class. I find it extremely important for students to become inquisitive and self reflective as they progress through collegiate mathematics, in hopes that they will develop the tools for life long learning.

Below are a list of course I have taught at SCSU:

• MAT-103 Mathematics for the Liberal Arts

• MAT-104 Mathematics in the World Around Us

• MAT-105 Mathematics for Elementary Eduction I

• MAT-107 Elementary Statistics

• MAT-120 College Algebra

• MAT-122 Pre-Calculus

• MAT-139 Calculus for the Social Sciences

• MAT-150 Calculus I

• MAT-178 Elementary Discrete Mathematics

• MAT-250 Foundations of Mathematics

• MAT-252 Calculus III

• MAT-260 Geometry and the Arts

• MAT-360 Foundations of Geometry

• MAT-378 Discrete Mathematics

• MAT-499 Independent Study (multiple sections involving Geometry and Graph Theory)

• MAT-530 Foundations of Geometry

Additionally, I was the teacher of record for three different mathematics courses for elementary school teachers, Calculus 1-3, and instructed a computer based Pre-Calculus emporium while a graduate student at Auburn University.
