Teaching

"Research creates science while teaching creates scientists." — A very wise friend of mine from the University of Minnesota

I am really thankful for the opportunities to teach in a variety of departments. In Fall 2023, I taught introductory statistics as the instructor of record in the Economics and Political Science Department at St. Catherine University. I also worked as a teaching assistant and guest lecturer for a number of courses in the Department of Applied Economics and the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs at University of Minnesota.

Anonymous Feedback

"Jiuchen explained concepts in easy terms, and was extremely helpful in explaining class concepts. Not only does it holistically explain, but proceeds to go through examples and answers questions in absolute detail." "Jiuchen was very clear with his explanations and always asked if there were any questions. He also provided good feedback." — Principles of Microeconomics, Fall 2020

"The Friday labs were well–structured. Jiuchen went at a reasonable pace and did a good job of answering everyone's questions. I felt well–prepared for the quizzes and assignments." "Recorded zoom sessions so we could go back through the lab, paused for questions, explained labs well and clearly." — Economic and Demographic Analysis, Spring 2022
