Teaching

My philosophy centers on clarity/transparency, real-world relevance, mutual respect, and open communication

Highlights

• Teaching evaluations consistently above-average across seven sections of economics courses (three of which are intermediate, including applied econometrics)

• Designed and integrated “flash presentations” where students summarize core concepts, connect them to real-world applications, and develop public speaking skills

• Independently developed full Python and Java curricula with sections tailored for data analysis

• Actively mentored any students interested in continuing economics and/or graduate school

Top Quotes from Student Evaluations

• “I wasn't very familiar with econometrics before taking this course, and I ended up taking a great interest in the material. Because of this class, I am now interested in taking a more advanced econometrics class in the future.”

• “Mr. Gendron was one of if not the best professor I've had at Virginia Tech. His style of teaching was extremely effective for retaining knowledge, and his class setup was extremely fair and catered towards the students success.”

• “Professor Gendron was very enthusiastic about the topic. He had a good attitude during class and provided many real world examples to help understand the topics.”
