Overview of Teaching Roles and Responsibilities
Since 2010, I have lectured and facilitated more than ten (10) courses in different modalities (online and face-to-face) in the UWI, St. Augustine and Five Islands Campuses. I currently facilitate the graduate Advanced Statistics and Research Methods for Psychology Course (PSYC 6013) at the Department of Behavioural Sciences, The UWI-STA as part of the Masters in Psychology Programme, since 2019. I also lecture an undergraduate online course, Introduction to Probability and Statistics (DISC 1011) at the School of Science, Computing and AI at the The UWI, Five Islands Campus, since 2022. I also co-lead the Research Methods (ECNG 6710) course at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering since 2021.
