Mathematical Structures (MAT 300)
It is a course to introduce proving and proofs to mathematics majors and minors. In the course, students learn different ways of proving and writing formal proofs to communicate with professional mathematicians. Most of the course time is dedicated to groupwork, where students work with a small number of peers and share their work on the boards so that they can learn by doing mathematics and experience authentic ways of doing mathematics.
Michigan State University
The followings are the courses that I have taught as an instructor of record.
Calculus I and II (MTH 132 and 133)
First two courses of the coordinated Calculus sequence at Michigan State University. Students are introduced to differentiation and integration. They learn different ways to find derivatives and anti-derivatives as well as learning how to apply them to real-life problems. Students work in groups in the classrooms.
Transitions (MTH 299)
It is a course to introduce proving and proofs to mathematics majors and minors. In the course, students learn different ways of proving and writing formal proofs to communicate with professional mathematicians. Most of the course time is dedicated to groupwork, where students work with a small number of peers and share their work on the boards so that they can learn by doing mathematics and experience authentic ways of doing mathematics.
Mathematics for Elementary Teachers I and II (MTH 201 and 202)
These two courses are content courses for preservice elementary teachers. In the courses, students learn about elementary mathematics, such as number systems, four arithmetics, and geometry concepts, focusing on conceptual understanding. Students work on activities as a group and develop their understanding of the contents through the discussion.
History of Mathematics (MTHE 430)
History of Mathematics is for preservice elementary teachers. In the course, students read the textbook to learn about the history and raise questions based on their reading. My course aims for students to be aware of the diverse populations that contributed to the development of mathematics over time. Students have to chance to think about the goal by presenting mathematicians from a minority population in the mathematics community and by critiquing books or movies as a group.
Mentoring
I also served as a Lead Teaching Assistant (TA) in the Department of Mathematics at MSU. I mentored graduate TAs and Undergraduate Learning Assistants by providing them constructive feedback and having discussions of the questions raised from their teaching. In the 2022-2023 academic year, I am a facilitator of a year-long teaching orientation for first-year GTAs–offered by the Center for Instructor Meeting at the Department of Mathematics –to provide mentoring and support for their teaching.
